Our house is 2x6. We live on a very sharp corner. When someone skips the corner and heads into the yard, we don't hear the accident - the neighbors another 100 yards away (in a house with 2x4 walls) hear the accident.
Hurricanes and massive storms? Don't even hear 'em.
Also, even when our AC was on the fritz, our largest mid-summer massive power bill was just over $200...
Granted, the double layer of insulation in the attic, and the insulation in all of our walls (interior and exterior) may have something to do with it (sure made running CAT5 everywhere a pain) but if I were building new and had the $$ for the price difference I'd go wtih 2x6 again.
