we have a 2006 Montana 6. We have friends with the 2008 edition and we have compared them side by side - the differences are:
2008 has an enclosed side porch. 2006 has more of a side 'canopy' but the advantage of the 2006 is that it makes the overall tent width within the CCC pitch limits that Ive seen others discuss elsewhere.
2008 has storage pockets betwen the two bedroom pods. 2006 doesnt but the bedroom has storage pockets at floor level all along the bottom of the pod which we have found perfectly sufficient for a family of 5!
2008 has a holdall style zip up bag. 2006 has a softer but more flexible bag like a sleeping-bag cover, and if you have trouble getting all the air out of the tent when packing it up, the 2006 bag will adapt to the larger size whereas the 2008 won't. And when you pack the 2006 bag in the car you can put stuff on top of it and it will flatten out because there is breathability for the remaining air to gradually escape.
2008 has shiny poles. 2006 (well ours, anyway) has darker brown ones.
HTH!
