A340-600 vs. -300

I'm often reading about the slow climb of the A340-200/300 and how much more powerful the -500/600 are.
I would like to hear first-hand about it. Is any pilot here flying both? Or with experience in both?

Is the difference wery noticeable?

If you are flying both of them, do you say YES!! when you find out that you are going to fly the -600 on the next trip?

How about numbers; whats the typical rate of climb of the -300 and the -600?

I saw the -600 performing at le Burguet this year, GREAT airplane!

Thank you for your replies!

For me they are both rocketships, I feel superb performance when I switch from the C152 to the C182!
