Having looked through this post and all the comparisons, all I can say is I wouldn't go back to 6.5 if you paid me to.

When SI came onboard with OOTP 2006 I was leery at first, but quickly fell in love with the new UI. Yes, 2006 had lots of bugs, but I always looked at it as a growing pain in the series.

2007 and now 8 are excellent games and give the user so many more customization options.

Going back to 6.5 and being stuck with very few customization options and having to look at the same dull screens all the time would be, well, would be the end of my OOTP playing days.

You say the natural movement of the eyes is left to right. Well that may be correct, but it's quite easy to train the eyes as well. Familiarity quickly leads to adjustment.

I'm not singling anyone out at all, and I respect very much everyone elses likes and dislikes, but I honestly believe that a lot of people who prefer 6.5 just never gave 2006 and onward a fair chance. Yes, the UI is overwhelming at first, but given time it is very easy to adapt to and is very user friendly and intuitive.
