These are manufacturer and seller specifications. Missing installation requirements remain unresolved; neither model is declared the universal winner. We have not tested heat distribution, comfort or reliability.
The E6 barrel and Bristow cabin use different shapes and measurement conventions. Our diagram compares rectangular outer envelopes, not identical interior layouts. Bristow’s record includes its 61-by-61-inch roof footprint so the smaller cabinet number does not hide an overhead obstruction.
The E6 entry distinguishes the barrel’s exterior dimensions from its internal diameter and shipping crate. Do not compare the barrel diameter with the other model’s base and call that a site plan. Height above supporting cradles and space for the door remain separate checks.
The captured Bristow offer names a 4.5kW Harvia heater. The E6 manufacturer record does not identify the exact heating and control package, so its voltage, power and circuit fields stay unknown. That does not establish the scope of every dealer’s E6 offer.
Ask the E6 seller to name the heater, controls, required accessories and governing manuals. Its assembly instructions make heater-guard installation dependent on the chosen heater’s clearances. Assigning a common heater by default would produce a misleading compatibility result.
An unpriced cabin record cannot be used as the cheaper alternative to a listed heater package. Request matching quotation scopes, including freight, assembly, foundation and electrical preparation. The two plans may put different work on the purchaser, which the base product descriptions alone cannot price.
In the budget tool, use an actual dealer quotation for E6 and a refreshed exact Bristow offer. Keep any unquoted required item unknown. A known subtotal is useful; a guessed all-in total creates false precision.
For a constrained site, begin with the outer width and depth and verify any conflict against the exact drawing revision. For a site that clears both envelopes, compare usable interior layout, heater package and installation preparation with the sellers.
We have not tested seating comfort, warm-up time or durability. Keep ordinary manufacturer links, dated specifications and the unresolved questions together so the next step is a specific quotation or document request, rather than an unsupported universal winner.
