Some Flexvolt Batteries have bigger cells that sustain more current draw and they do take advantage of this feature hence the name "Flexvolt Advantage".
However, the 6ah is about worthless in a 60v tool, (6ah at 20v... 2ah at 60v) and you will grow out of it fast!
Also, in 20v mode, the 6ah Flex has very little gain over the 5ah. But the 5ah kit (2x 5ah the 15 series charger, and the bag that you throw on top of your pile of DeWalt bags lol) can be found at $120 (or less) a few times a year.
So if you grab one of these "deals" keep an eye out in the future for the 9ah, and 12ah battery deals. (I got the 12ah batteries for $140 at my local Ace a year or do ago and went for 4 ... they're great for the big sds drill if you have any masonry, and if you area DIY'er, you will likely not need a charger for a while lol... but your hands will pray for an ice bath if you have to use it all day (heavy).

In store, they have these same deals listed by OP, but only in store, and not online. So YMMV.
XR can run both 20v and 60 v batteries at 20v only. This allows XR tools to get the most run time out of the higher capacity, think 9ah and 12ah, flexvolt/60v batteries.
I have seen some testing that shows a slight power improvement using the flexvolt batteries in the XR line of tools, but nothing compared to the Flexvolt advantage.
The Flexvolt(60v) advantage is essentially a hybrid 20v/60v tool. The advantage is the tool can take BOTH batteries. 20v will run at lower power, but with an increase in run time. The Flexvolt/60v will run at higher power with reduced run time. They are definitely what i would consider the best of both worlds. If you want a light tool. Pop a 2ah or 4ah 20v in it. If you need raw power. throw a big 6ah flexvolt in it.
A true Flexvolt tool will only take the flexvolt batteries. This limits battery availability and run time since the 60v tools pull 3 times more amps than the 20v tools. A 6ah flexvolt battery only has 2 ah running at 60v. They market it as a 6ah at 20v.
Some Flexvolt Batteries have bigger cells that sustain more current draw and they do take advantage of this feature hence the name "Flexvolt Advantage".
Edit: Well we were both wrong. A quick google search revealed that the Power Detect came out just before Flexvolt Advantage. Power Detect is optimized for Dewalts 8ah 20v battery (released just before Flexvolt line) while Flexvolt advantage optimizes Flexvolt batteries.

Question on the sawzall. Is it worth upgrading from the xr brushless?
