I personally rather have the middle 6 of E9.
I got 10 strings but those get the most attention.

I just bought a new 6 string, 2 pedal, 2 knee pedal steel. Sho Nuff / Growler brand. It's supposed to come tomorrow.
I intend to tune it as E9, strings 3,4,5,6,7,8 of a conventional 10 string.

I tend to agree. Then if you decide to trade up to 10 you can take your knowledge with you instead of having to relearn.
