I got a Prodisc-C at C5-6 a month ago. Don't know anything about the M6, though.
Bone spurs should not be a major issue. I had one at that level, and AFAIK, it was no problem for the surgeon to trim it off before placing the implant.
Which fingers are you having pain in? If you're like me, you may have multiple levels causing problems.
