$20 more, comes with ecg and always on display. Doesn't have watch6 screen which is brighter. Really a crapshoot. I'm hoping for a deal on an lte one

Why crapshoot? You basically listed all the major differences. I'd say besides color it's not bad.

Although if one has military discount you can already S6 44mm aluminum for $380. So if you got a friend to help you are looking at $60 difference.

Some people really want ecg. Some want the newer screen. If you really care about one or the other you'll find people fighting to the death over it.

Isn't the new screen 2.5x brighter only in the sun? So that means indoor it's still the same as a s5?

This is a much better deal. I would pay extra 20 for ECG and always-on display vs the SE. The higher screen brightness is only on always-on mode on the S6. So, SE has the same S5 screen minus the always on.

SE has the S6 brightness advantage in the sun that the S5 doesn't have. ECG is great for some people, I've used it three times in nearly two years so its useless to me.

I am confused the SE is 279 whereas this is $50 more. What is more worth it? This, the SE, or the 3

No, it does no. Series 6 only has a brighter display in always on mode. So, it (and the SE) have essentially the same display as the S5 in non always-on mode. Since the SE does not have always on, the screens are identical.
I do agree though that ECG is not thast useful. Always on to me however is a must.

"My favorite new feature that I've been able to test might simply be the always-on screen. Apple claims it's 2.5 times brighter in its always-on default mode than the screen on the Series 5, and looking at them side by side, I believe it."
Also check Apple's series 6 page.
They clearly mention the 2.5x brightness (in sunlight) is only in always on mode.
