The earlier ones are fugly IMHO, but I saw an 09 and that was it.
You know those two bikes are comletely different right? The only common link is the detuned R6 engine in both, and even the extent to which the engine is detuned is different. Even the frame material and style is different. The "old fugly" fz6 are faster, but a bit clunkier than your fz6r.

Your shopping list sounds exactly like mine though. The fz6r was in the top 4 or 5 on my list. I decided to go with its suzuki class rival in the GSXF. I decided I wanted more touring capability, and the fz6r is just a tad small for my frame. Im not a small guy.... Waiting for the dealer to call me back right now for the suzi.

'grats on the new bike though!!!
