T6.1 vs T6, rodents, general electrics resilience

[Somersetman]

Hi, We're thinking about buying either a late T6 California or an earlier T6.1, and were hoping for some friendly advice from the knowledgable people here

We hired a T6.1 for a few days to see what they were like, and we currently have a T6 Caravelle so we our fairly familiar with the differences at the dash board end.

1. Re: Rodent wiring damage, is there a big difference between the wiring material used between the T6 and T6.1, or were they already using the tasty green wiring with the T6? We were wondering if we went for a late T6 it might be better....
About 10 years ago we had a Mini Countryman that had it's wires eaten. After some trapping they went away, fingers crossed still.

2. The dash in the 6.1 looks very snazzy compared to the T6, if owning it for 10 years, would you go for a T6 ? (less to go wrong)

3. We need to have the 5th seat option, which narrows down the choice of available 6.1 vehicles, any views on putting in an extra rail to a 6.1?

Thanks in advance

Regards
