I'd be interested in seeing how much soot the 616 has at 6K. The 617's test at 8K involved no stop and go driving. It has no EGR. It generally gets out on the highway at 60-70 mph and goes for 2 1/2 hours nonstop, as a minimum. Of course, it uses the generally available poor quality fuel.

Where do you find this higher cetane fuel? It would be worth the additional cost in increased fuel economy.
