I've played both Party and Stars 0.5/1 6-max and don't find Stars any harder. Maybe just a tiny bit, like maybe one less loose-passive at each table, but there are still plenty to go around. Stars has almost as many games and arguably treats its players better. Depends on your goals. Do you want to become the best poker player you can be, or would you rather make an extra 10% profit? Party is probably more profitable, but maybe less fun and worse on your skillset.

I've only played a few thousand hands at Stars, but I'm liking it better than Party now. But, of course, Party allows 10-tabling. Enjoy!
