CS6

Anyone move from CS5 to CS6 and loved something that you picked up because of the upgrade? I'm not going to head to CC, but thought about picking up a cheap upgrade boxed from Amazon.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I made the jump from cs4 to cs6. I use LR for global adjustments and use photoshop for the capacity of layers and fine adjustments.

CS6 can fix alignments on building and walls on the fly! plus the content aware is even better!

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Tab62, looks like I will be out in your area for business next week. Anything great to shoot from a quick roadside drive from Seattle to Kennewick?

I now do all my RAW processing in Lightroom, but CS6 camera RAW got a pile of great upgrades to highlight recovery, shadow lightening, automatic CA processing (along with LR 4). Styles on groups has potential to be very useful (i.e. something in the past I've wished they had) but in practice, having lived without it for so long, I've never actually used it in CS6 :)
I don't find any of the new content aware stuff very useful in practice - there are enough flaws in what it does that you have to fix things to clean up after it. And if you're good and fast at doing that, then doing it yourself in the first place is faster. The healing brush is great for sensor spots, but that's several versions ago.
I'd still recommend you get CS6 to extend the period you can use a "perpetual license" as long as possible. As OS upgrades come, sooner or later one of them will break something in Photoshop. More likely to break CS5 sooner than CS6 as the former is older.
