I have not heard the VM6 myself, but the VM1 clearly sounded inferior to the M-1 during my audition. Even my wife could tell the difference, and they were being sold at the same price!
Unless B&W substantially improves the VM6, I would recommend getting the M-1 for rears. Also check out the 685/686 when you go to the dealer. I believe that the VM6 is getting very close to the price points of the 600 series, which should certainly match the timber of your other 600 series speakers.
The M-1 does have two big drawbacks: 1. The B&W-designed stands are grossly overpriced and they are your only option if you have to put the M-1 on stands. 2. The M-1 are a big pain to set up.- Bottom

The VM6 is a totally different speaker than the VM1. The VM6 has the same drivers as the CM1. It's just a different enclosure. I'm sure the VM6 sounds much better, and bigger, than the M1.
