The 6000KV version falls squarely in the middle of this line in all respects. It's efficiency takes a big hit compared to the 4500KV but is still better than the 7500KV.  On 2s it offers a nice reduction in peak power, especially for heavy prop loads.  This works out well if you're trying to keap your peak amp draw down to avoid overstressing a small battery, but it's hit to efficiency makes it not the best choice if longer flight times are your goal.  As with the entire lineup it seems to best match a prop load similar to the 3020 biblade, which leaves you running just above the sweet spot of efficiency in static loads, and should give a good spread of efficiency once unloading kicks in in the air.  Heavier prop loads like the RotorX 3044 are starting to push the limits of the motor in a static test, drawing around 100 watts, and would rely on unloading in the air to keep power draws down, although not nearly as much as the 4500 and 7500 KV versions.
