For a while, I have used an ego6. One day, I used my friend's DM5 for a few games, and was surprised by how little recoil it had (at first I thought it wasn't firing but then I saw the balls breaking down the field). I found a DM6 for a good price, and have been using it since I got it.
The first time I gassed it up, it leaked out of the bolt. I replaced two O rings, and it worked fine for a couple games, then it blew another. After removing chunks from my bolt, and putting in another new O ring, the gun continued to work well for the rest of the weekend.
I'll add/change information as I play more games with this gun.
Accuracy: the DM6 is just as accurate as my Ego. Cross field shots are doable.
Weight: once again, the same as my Ego. Its light enough to not be a hassle when shooting and reloading at the same time.
Size: I laid my ego on top of my dm, and they had the same height and length from top of feedneck to bottom of asa. However, the Hyper2 regulater on the matrix is smaller, while the ego is thinner since it has an open bolt design.
Recoil: From my experience, the DM6 has more recoil than the Dm5, and is a little louder. It's a tad quieter and has less kick than an Ego6 though.
Efficiency: It shoots less paint off a 68/45 than my ego, but it shoots enough to get the job done.
Sticky Grips, 45 ultralite frame, trigger: I really like the feel of this gun. since it is thinner towards the top of the grip, I can easily fit my hand around it. The sticky grip has kept my hand from slipping even after being hit with multiple shots. I took the spring out of my trigger, so the only resistance is from the micro switch on the board. I can walk it easily with up to four fingers. Also, the shape of the trigger, and largeness of the trigger guard make it especially comfortable. The trigger is not as crisp as the trigger on an ego, but it seems to be able to go faster
Self Cleaning Eyes: I have heard many complaints about self cleaning eyes. I broke the very first ball fired, and the gun was shooting fine as soon as the barrel cleaned out. I hear they are a pain to clean though, but luckily I haven't had to yet.
On off lpr: Another feature I have heard complaints about. I haven't had any problems with it, and it is convenient to not have to go to the range when I fire off the last shot after taking off the tank. Maybe I'm just lucky.
ASA: Mine has a CP asa that I have had no problems with. I hear the stock one is hard to turn.
Board: There's a Tadao board in my DM6, and it works great. It's mostly psp and nppl modes, but since I don't live in England, it doesn't really matter. The psp mode has an adjustable ramp activation speed, so it can be set to comply with rules for most tournaments.
All in all this is a good gun. Nowadays it's inexpensive, but still accurate, light, and fast. While it requires more maintenance than an Ego, It also seems to produce slightly better results. Its a trade off, and it all comes down to personal preference.

Dye Precision Dye Matrix 6 (DM6)Was my desired gun for about a season (summer). Ended up selling it because new matrixes come out so frequently.

By far my most favorite gun that's in the 300 price range right now. I would pick this gun over and 2009 gun. It shoots extremely smooth and I love the feel of the UL trigger. I am in the process of buying one of these right now. Buy this gun if you can.

I've always been a lover of Dye products, and the DM6 deserves ALL of my love. As a previous DM4 and DM5 owner, I had a good idea of what to expect here, and the DM6 is definitely more of the same.
The accuracy is top-notch, it feels smooth as butter when you're shooting it, and maintenance is super easy, even if you're a first-time DM user. The DM6 is definitely better looking than the DM4 and DM5, but the newer DM models definitely out-class it in looks. My only problem with the DM line is something that they may never fix, and that's the DM's poor performance in cold weather. This is true of a lot of markers, but the DM's seem to catch colds pretty easily.
All in all, the price-performance ratio of a used DM6 (seriously, why buy new guns when used ones like this are so cheap?) is unrivaled.
