Line weight

I am considering buying an Airflo Sixth Sense slow intermediate line. I have a Scott E2 5 wt on which I use a WF 6 line. My problem is what wt do I go for - 5/6 or 6/7. Advice would be gratefully received

I go for the Lighter one.but many feel that the heavier one loads better.But I have no problems casting the lighter versions.

Thanks for the quick responses - will go with the lighter line, 6/7 on a 5wt is probably a bad idea
