Good Cable Modem?

Need a docsis 3.0 modem to take full advantage of my comcast plan.

I've had the surfboard SB5100 for years now and it's been solid, so I've been thinking about upgrading to either the SB6121 or the SBG6580.

Does anybody have the 6580? Any other modems worth considering?

I have SB6121 with Comcast in DC. It's a little slow to synch up when you have to reboot it (which is never) but it works fine. I pay for 20/4 and get pretty much that (a little slower on the upload sometimes).
