Ok...I'll have to take your word for that, as I haven't played much recently, and thus haven't made it to EITHER of those ships.
I assume you're referring to the higher rate of fire of the 6" guns...but, at the same time, the 8" guns almost halve the turret turn rate, from over 50 seconds to 30 seconds even. Now, admittedly, there are commander-skills around that, as well as others that improve the 6"-and-under guns, but...
