Some of the ‘below the surface’ improvements:
• Improved tonearm mounting and oxygen-free copper wire being used for the signal.
• Improved vibration damping in the body.
• Improvements to the pitch control accuracy.
• Better LEDs.
• Possibly some motor improvements.

If and when the ‘limited edition’ MK6 will get to Europe is not clear as of yet. All the information above comes directly from the Japanese website. And even if we try to get a decent translation, Japanese is a pretty tough language to master!

(Shout out to Skratchworx for the early info on the MK6).
