except the t90's clip is spring free and isn't under strain from a spring,
and you don't have to pull it back and hold it to take the battery out.
Also, a person could easily manufacture a replacement clip if you had to
for it...it's a free flowing hinge and isn't built in as part of the radio's
body.
I personally think its a better, safer design.
You would have to get a refirb external casing for the f6 if the battery
clip ever broke..but you could make a replacement for the t90.
6 of one, half a dozen of the other I would say.
