I am doing final assembly on a 6A. I've never had the trim cable fully
installed before and am running into various problems that have me
reconsidering things.

The manual trim has the advantage that it is not electric - no wiring, no
dependence on the electrical system.  I also like the very positive
connection from my hand to the trim tab.  But, (I'm guessing here) the
electric looks like it's a lot easier to install.  It's probably also a lot
lighter.  Though, I've heard lots of stories about the servo's running away.

Have any of you converted from manual trim to electric?  Is the electric
easier to install/live with?
