| It totally depends on what you want to do with it. The 600N is a 3d monster, but also makes a great sport flyer. The R60 is a great sport flyer, but is underpowered for 3d.
If you are just a sport flyer who wants stability in any kind of weather, and want a dead reliable heli that things aren't going to wear out on, is easy to see in the sky and don't care about 3d performance, the R60 is probably the ideal heli. They fly awesome, and a 60 size engine doesn't use any more fuel than a Hyper, a 70 doesn't use much more (and is what I'd get over a 60). Crashes are going to be more money, but it's a bigger heli so that's to be expected. It's easily upgraded to a 90 later if you decide you want more power.
If you are a 3d flyer or have the aspirations, the 600N is the one for you. It's going to have much more power than the R60, and will still be a great sport flyer. The disadvantage is it's smaller, harder to see, less stable, and will be blown around a lot more in the wind. It's going to wear out quicker and require more maintenance than the R60, but it's a higher performance heli.
I think you need both.

But quite frankly, the 700 will have MUCH better parts availibility at a more affordable price.
