We have the 6qt as well and use it a lot. That said, I will caution you that it is not a replacement for proper slow cooking techniques. You can make pork shoulder and beef roast but the results are not the same. You do sacrifice quality of outcome for expediency.
It is very good for quicker meals (throw in some chicken, frozen even, with rice and broth after the kiddo's karate class and you have dinner done in half ano hour with one dirty pot).
It is good for broth, soups, etc and many other things.
As my wife tells every one that she knows that buys one and asks her what to make, "Just because you CAN does not mean you SHOULD".
Some things are great in an Instant Pot and others should only be made if you need that particular thing soon.
One of my favorites is Thai or Indian curries. Not quite the depth of flavor as the longer cooking method but for a quicker weekday dinner, it is more than acceptable. The whole house will smell like the spices when you vent the pressure.
