Now that that's out of the way I'll say this, the leap from the D5 to the D6 is significant. That D5 is about as low end as you will find on a full squish. Still worth this price though but some would argue that at this price point you may be able to find a better equipped hard tail. Its debatable.
The leap from the D6 to the D7 is less of a jump. The D7 has arguably better suspension with the Rockshox, but I would say the Suntour XCR vs RS Recon are pretty similar. Both are air forks with 120mm travel and 32mm sanctions. That Xfusion rear shock is probably fine. However that 10x vs 11x drivetrain will make the D6 more of a challenge on tough climbs with that 32t chainring and only 46t max on the rear. All said and done the D7 worth the extra $350 in upgrades, but if its a budget breaker, the D6 will be fine for most people dipping their toes into a FS bike, and everything can be upgraded (except the geometry, but different conversation)
People used to actually make an effort to propel bikes, skateboards, and scooters.
Now I literally see people on their cell phones while their bike does all the work.
That being said, I had a Suntour fork that failed a long time ago on an old Cannondale. I won't bother with their products again.

My buddy just replaced his D6 this month after the same amount of time. He was very happy with it, though he did some upgrades to the suspension since he's a big boy.
You'll either buy this and get serious about MTB and upgrade to something a lot more expensive, or you'll end up not enjoying it and selling this, glad that you didn't spend more initially
