Downloaded the deck, looked through it, and the quality is amazing. Significantly better than Core6K. Audio is slightly, but noticeably, better (not much room for improvement, since Core6K has good audio too), and the sentences are much better. Far more useful for learning grammar. And, at intermediate level at least, you can pretty much just learn the grammar points straight up, just with the help of the translation. Not much explanation needed.
Add to that the updated word selection (Core6K may have been the most popular words in newspapers once, but I seriously doubt it is today), and I highly recommend using this deck instead of Core, for intermediate learners.
Even though it comes a little late for me (I've done a big chunk of Core6K already) I think I'll drill through the sentences anyway, with the audio up front, for listening comprehension. The sentences are read fairly fast too, which is great.
