The SDS6 is one of the less common pieces of Simmons kit. Not many were built when compared to some of the other products. As I candy when they are in use they look great

As to what they are worth is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Like many collectables, it is worth what potential buyers are willing to pay. If you believe the going price is fair AND you must have one, then go for it. They don't come up for sale that often and sometimes a missed opportunity is later regretted.

As to the midi units, I agree they are probably the most valuable as most sources agree only around 6 but no more than 10 factory midi units were built. I own one of these and it would take some serious arm twisting to get me to part with it as it is in near new condition (looks pretty much factory fresh).
