I would think that all of the main companies that make cages will have 6K Pro cages available in the next couple of weeks.
I normally use a half cage with my Pocket 4K, but I'm setting up an Easyrig Minimax and decided that I want to use a full cage with it. Last Sunday, I had a look at the Tilta and 8Sinn. I would have looked at SmallRig's cage as well, but the socket placement wasn't as good as the others for the Minimax.
I think that there's a lot of personal taste involved in selection. I didn't like the fact that the Tilta comes in pieces that have to be screwed together, which I think compromises strength; and it results in more fasteners to monitor. Went with the one piece 8Sinn cage instead. To my mind, it feels more solid and also looks better. The fact that it's made by a small company in a small town by people who seem to care about design mattered too.
