I've not used the Maxxis tires yet but wouldn't hesitate. The 6006 looks closer to a 50/50 dual sport, whereas the TKC80 is more a knobby tire. I might be more inclined toward the Maxxis Dual Max or the 6001 tires. More dirt oriented, but probably won't last long on tarmac.
In the US we've just stared getting the Michelin T-63. On sale for $55 usd each. That is quite cheap compared to TKC's. I bought T-63's and noticed they are fairly similar to the TKC in design, tread style and depth ... and are about half the price. I hear they last well, but never used them.
I didn't know Maxxis made so many dual sport tires. I will look out for them. I've got a set of Shinko (formerly Yokohama, Korean made) Dual sport tires, also quite good and cheap.
