I just got back from flying. The Bambula 16x6 is one sweet prop. I got a peak of 8600 on the ground, backed off to 8400 to fly. The plane hovered at less than half throttle, accelerated vertical from the hover (but with a bit less authority than the APC 16x4W), had better speed than the 16x4W (but less than the 15x8 Menz-s), and good braking on the downlines.

I got almost the exact same RPM readings on the 15x8 Menz and the 16x6 Bambula. 8600-8650 static, backed off a few clicks to 8400 to fly. Neither of these props sounded like they were overspeeding in flight, just a nice happy sounding exhaust note.

I'm still going to try to get a 16x6 Menz-s, just to compare it to the Bambula. I've got a 16x6 Zinger in the shop, I might give that a shot too for the heck of it. I should probably try a 16x6 APC as well.
