    You could go either way, you can buy the piggy back BTM and add it to your 6AL or you could buy the 6BTM unit and remove the 6AL.

    I run the piggyback unit with my Digital 6, I wanted to keep the features of my Digital 6.

    You may want to check out Cranes products, they may have a nice Digital unit with a BTM built in, not too sure though.

    The 6BTM will have the same features as the 6AL plus the BTM capability.

    I would go with the piggyback since you already have the 6al. The 6BTM is one expensive mug. I paid $180 through Summit for the add on BTM.

    If you were starting from scratch, get the 6BTM for around $320. Its cheaper than buying both the 6AL and the BTM piggy back unit (about $380 for both).

    Since you already have the 6AL, just buy the BTM piggy back.

    I would do as the others suggest....simply add on an MSD Boost Timing Master for $180 from Summit. You could of course sell your 6AL and you could possibly get up to $150 for it and then you'd have to take that $150 plus another $180 to get the 6AL BTM model but in the end you'll end up spending the same extra $180 to just go ahead and buy the add on BTM box.

    If you are looking for a cleaner install with less boxes, then go with the 6btm. Used 6al's will fetch a few bucks to make up for it. If you're not concerned about two boxes under the hood, then just piggyback.
