Hi Lou,
  I updated to Safari 6.1 on my MAC running Mountain Lion.  The default 
topsites window  which comes up when opening Safari threw me for a bit.  I have 
not found a way to disable this so I just close it.  I did find a difference in 
the rotor data on some websites.  In particular, I use startpage.com for 
searching.  The search results no longer show in the headings list, only in the 
links list now.  A bit more cumbersome  to deal with but I can live with it.  I 
will research updates more carefully next time.  I am not sure I would have 
updated to 6.1.

If you have any suggestions on how to deal with the rotor changes, please 
share. <smile>

take care,
Leslie

from my testing, Safari 6.1 is reasonably stable, I’ve used it in Mountain 
lion, there a couple of differences in the way things are done, such as the use 
of a sidebar now for favourites, reading lists, etc.

I hope this helps, I found it ok for use and was happy with it.
