Of all the fixtures that have sunrise/sunset control AND 6 channel color control, IMHO the best value is Reef Breeders Photon V2 or EverGrow (the Chinese version of the Photon). It looks good and it's well made. The programming is a bit old school and the remote should be kept plugged into a USB port to keep it charged whenever you need it.
With led fixtures for your 6' tank, I'd do 2 of the Photon V2 that are 32" each. If you could find a 5' or 6' fixture, that would work, but a 4' will leave very dim ends in the tank.
