i would go for the 6's and not the 8's. Good speaker for the money.

+1 for the 6's. I've found that they are the most controlled of the series. They are the flattest and most controlled of the series IMPO

6s... 
I've tried quite a lot monitor systems at the store of my local dealer and also compared the RP5, RP6 and RP8 series.
In the end I bought two RP6 -> a very good monitor for the money and maybe the best cost-perfomance ratio atm.
I only noticed that I had to adjust the high frequencies (which can easily be done at the back) of the monitors, because my first mixes seemed to be a little bit too thin.

Almost everyone I've asked who mixes professionally has said Rokits are glorified computer speakers. The Yamaha Hs80Ms or whatever they are is what I keep getting told to buy as well as Adam A7's.

Adam A7s are more than three times the price of the RP6... 
However, the Yamaha Hs80Ms could be worth a try even if they are almost twice the price.
"Glorified computer speakers"... But good speakers for the money and a good starting point for producing!
If you have some money available you may also look for Genelec speakers. But they are also very pricey.

It was more of a, "save up and buy something nice once instead of something semi-decent and upgrade later" kind of thing

I got the 5's and they're great, wouldn't trade them for anything atm! GO FOR IT!
MF/GC has the 6's on sale all the time... you could buy a set for the same cost as the 5's. I paid around $200 for my set.

HS50Ms are not much more than the 6s (some places they're cheaper)
Hands down a far better speaker.
