Nothing wrong with fermenting in the 6 1/2, but once you start aging
and such you'll need to eliminate that air space. If you have a 5
gallon carboy you can use that and a 1 gallon apple juice jug or
something similar. You'll find as you make more and more wine you'll
want lots of different sizes including plenty of 1 gallon jugs and
some 3 gallon carboys as well. I don't have a 6 gallon myself and
don't really miss it.

That's good advice regarding that 1 gallon jug...thanks. However, I still
do not understand the reasoning behind .5 gallon of space being a problem
if it's filled with CO2.
