So after a full session of 5e, and reading through pretty much all new edition info that is out there, I've come to the determination that DMing 5e is pretty much the experience I was trying to capture with all the E6 variants I've attempted over the years.
Combat seems fast (much faster that mid level 3.5 or 4e), math is much easier to manage, the spells don't seem to blow the roof off a game (though more testing is needed). The classes seems balanced against each other to the point that optimization won't put one player to far ahead in terms of group contribution or leave players behind that aren't that interested in system mastery.
All-in-all, I'm happy with how things have turned out and look forward to the release of the hardcovers over the next few months. And thanks to everyone that playtested and provided feedback.
