I've got both DB1 and RB6 (after running the two Vega since May 2011).
I love my DB1, always got comments on how well it jumps/carry speed in any corner. I can really take advantage on a dry grippy astro, bumpy or not, it is very noticeable on some parts of the track. It jumps very well too, always balanced. It works too when track is a little wet (or drying) but for me it was hard to put power properly when track was fully wet. I liked Ballistic greens on the rear for that but I can't use those at Nationals and I've not found a good setup/tires to be comfortable in those conditions for my limited driving skills.
Hence the RB6 that might be a good car for all track, nicely updated from the RB5 (lots of small things I'm very happy about as a RB5 user) and useable on dirt tracks running RM. So far one race on slippery condition and I liked it very much, very stable yet precise with a better weight distribution than a Vega gen2 and that's with a base setup.
So I might run the RB6 on every track but dry astro and carpet where the DB1 can outrun any car.
Weather was pretty bad here in France this year so most races on astro got their share of rain and moist. Hope 2013 will be better as I enjoy a lot pushing the DB1 to its limits on grippy tracks.
