upgrade to 2008 CVO Ultra from 2006 CVO Ultra?

Last year bought a 2006 Ultra classic screamin eagle. Saw a 2008 screamin eagle ultra and am thinking of trading for it. 2008 has 6-speed and 110 motor, 6 gal tank vs 5 gal , 5-speed, 103. Any thoughts?

If money is an object then it may be the way to go. If it is not of concern, you could get one of the newer CVO ultras, or even a 2013

I wouldn't trade unless I could get a 2009 or newer (frame change).

I agree..2008 is the in between year . True you will gain the 6 gal. tank, 6 speed and ABS brakes. The biggest and most improved change would be from 09 and newer the frame change and wider rear tire.
