in reply to Why Change?

IMHO it's too early for that question, as no one(!) has actually enough practical experience with Perl6 to be able to make such a statement.

If someone does (make such a statement), it's just because of his wishes/estimates/feelings/half-knowledge/advocacy of this not-yet-released-thus-hypothetical-future language.

I can tell you what the current estimate/feeling is here at our R&D:

Only after that, I believe, developers who have participated on these projects involving Perl6 will have the chance to be able to come up with a short, clean and compelling reason for "Why Perl6". That is - only if Perl6 will also deliver like it's ancestor.
