The amount of RAM makes a difference in how sophisticated a program can be run since the OS, application, and in memory part of a document have to share that RAM. With the current firmware it probably does not make much difference to most users.

I have both the 5" and the 6" of the current versions, and the 6" is much easier on the eyes, but the 5" is more easily portable.

I do not use either the jog dial on the 5" or the up/down buttons on the 6" enough to make either one preferable. The firmware can accomplish most of the same tasks with either setup, depending up how they are programmed.

At nearly equivalent prices the 6" wins hands down im my book.
