I happen to have owned both. Quite different cars. The M6 V10 feels tighter and more agile. The V10 sounds great but, IMO, the car is let down by the SMG gearbox. I loved the rev matching but I just couldn't get on with it. It just doesn't work well in auto mode.
The CL63 AMG is a high performance luxury cruiser with a torque converter auto box. It's a beautifully made and stylish car. I've still got the CL although mine is a Brabus version which sounds even better than the V10.
You will always read of potential costly failures on both cars but I've run both practically maintenance free apart from routine servicing. The air suspension on the CL can be a costly maintenance item.
On balance I prefer the CL but if you're happy with the SMG you'll enjoy your M6.
