"It does look a little like a cross between some sort of beard trimming or fancy hairdressing implement and a breathalyser"

*grin* so I had to go and look for a picture ... it does, doesn't it ?

How convenient is it to put in a pocket ? Serious question - I use my H2 mainly for informal stuff, sessions and the like, and what makes it the Best Machine Ever, from my POV, is the way it's a simple clean-lines little box that slips into a single pocket with nothing sticking out to get in the way, and has everything you need, with external mics and power source in other pockets if it's worth the extra nuisance. It looks like the H6 might not be so convenient in that respect ?
