Yes. without doubt.

Very roughly speaking:
28 (now most used on M8) has become 35 (which was most used on M6)
50 has become 75 (which was second most used on M6)
75 has become 90 (which was rarely used on M6)

and yes - lust for 24 and 21 has increased dramatically to fill  
(roughly) the 28 (which was used almost as much as the 35 on the M6)  
hole.



Fond regards,
George
