Many of us already have GPSDO capability - can we
use our external GPSDO 10 MHz source with the
6000 like we presently do with the 5000 and 1500?
Does the internal one provide any additional
functions that our external one does not?

The on-board optional GPS serves two key purposes:
1) Long-term & short-term frequency stability (GPSDO)
2) Capability for unique time-sensitive applications
The first is obvious -- the 10 MHz out of the GPS is used as a reference
for the master 983.04MHz oscillator which determines the frequency
stability of the radio. The second is more subtle. The GPS' 1PPS and
serial are used together to obtain a high accuracy time correlation for RF
data across multiple FLEX-6000 Signature Series radios. Initially, only
number one above will be realized in software. But future software will
have the capability of RF data with high-precision time correlation at its
disposal. Imagine what is possible ;-) Order of operations is: 1) make it
work, 2) do something cool.
