I've had both, and for video AF, the A6000 is amazing! In daylight, it snaps into focus and holds it, like a DSLR does with AF tracking through the viewfinder. Basically acting like a camcorder. In low light, it's a bit slower, similar to the NEX-6 in decent light, and doesn't hunt. Both PDAF and CDAF are significantly improved over the NEX-6.
Beyond that, if you're interested in video, I'd HIGHLY recommend the A6000. The video quality is vastly improved. Much sharper, more detailed, more dynamic range, almost no moire (big issue with NEX-6), and minimal chroma noise at high ISO. The colors are less of a departure from reality than the NEX-6, too, which shifted and oversaturated a lot. The same improvements can be seen in photo mode. There's even a Liveview Grading app that lets you increase dynamic range even more than the default color settings, though you can only use it in movie mode.
I chose the A6000 to replace my Panasonic GH2 (previous mirrorless sharpness king) for video, and haven't been disappointed, even with the lower bitrate (hacks let me use 80mbps on GH2). I love using the AF on the A6000 since it's almost foolproof, and you can assign one of the custom buttons as an AF Lock, letting you switch AF on and off as you see fit. Really, the only disappointment is that the A6000 doesn't have a mic-in port, but syncing audio tracks in post isn't much of an issue these days.
