If you’re near Hamburg, I’ve got a Stage 2 compact including original packaging available for 1750€ pickup.

Thank you but no, I've got my seller and I'm not near Hamburg, almost as far away as one can be in Germany actually. But it is exactly the same deal, except he's including shipping in that figure.

No pedal control, just the front panel controls, AFAIK.
On the NE6, a control pedal can be set up to impact the effects 1 section. When enabled (just shift-press the effects 1 selector button), the pedal controls the amount for the pan and tremolo effects -- which is something you cannot do with any of the knobs.

For RM and Wah, the pedal just replicates what you can do with the knob (but it's of course much more useful to do Wah with a pedal than a knob).

Ah, yes, thanks. I was thinking of the 5, not the 6.

In general, my motto is always buy the biggest one you can afford. That way you won't be disappointed.

Sure, right now the Electro might be enough but you'll be at a gig in the future saying "I wish this could ..." and regret it.

In this case, i's complicated by the fact that each does some things the other does not. So it's also possible to have chosen the Stage and some day end up saying "I wish this could ..." about something the Electro does! But it sounds like he's weighed the pros and cons for himself and should be happy with his choice.
