They told me that the 700w/wx went from base WM5 to WM5+MSFP which is a +1 upgrade.

This, sadly, actually makes sense...
Moto Q: Initially released without AKU 2.x/Got MSFP --> NO WM6 upgrade
ppc6700: Initially released without AKU 2.x/Got MSFP --> NO WM6 upgrade
Treo 700: Initially released without AKU 2.x/Got MSFP --> NO WM6 upgrade
Now, granted Sprint got the Moto Q with AKU 2.x and the 700wX with AKU 2.x, but I guess
technically...it don't count, since the OEM did do the MSFP for those devices.
Now look at things like the Dash, Blackjack, Treo 750. 8525 etc.
All came with AKU 2.x/3.x out the gates...all getting WM6.
That's a a specific pattern folks (and really the only one I've seen), so I'm going with no WM6 update for the 700wx.
Plus Verizon just got a minor ROM upgrade to the 700w/x. You would think they would have rolled out WM6 then.
800w...here I come
