It looks like a real "want to have" - I'd have to sell my car, though;)
For my 6008AF I "found" a 2,8/180 Xenotar AF (!) at an incredible price -
no one really understood what the lens was worth it seemed, so maybe the
lens found me...
Is that the same kind of build or not?
(sorry - off topic now)
On the other hand, I always had trouble with the sharpness, sent the AF
plus my two AF lenses to DHW, they adjusted the camera, repaired the 2,8/80
Xenotar and didn't want to touch the 2,8/180 Xenotar (why, I don't know).
The set came back and it seemed to be worse - my neighbor - who in fact had
infected me with the Rollei-itis;) - and me discussed that this morning and
took a closer look at the film-plane (or whatever it's called): one part is
missing completely! The film is somewhere, but not where it should be - was
DHW blind? You can't actually lose it....
I guess the seller from Bratislava had it with the 6008AF and sold it to a
low price because of that, maybe not knowing himself, what was wrong.
I wrote to DHW today - let's see if they ever looked carefully enough - and
if they have spare parts!

The left camera is my AF and the right one is the Professional SRC 1000 -
note the difference concerning the rear "shutter".
(on topic again)
Talking about the Aero-Xenotar - if I'd had the money, this would surely
be mine:)
My SL66 isn't so reliable I'd say, but just real fun to take photos with.
