Is the 6.0 preferable over the 5.3?

Guys,
I've come across a 1-owner, very clean 2009 LTZ 4WD, 150,000 miles for $15,000. What caught my attention  was the 6.0 engine. Now I  don't tow anything,  but I've read that this engine, if it's the iron block and not aluminum,  can last a long time.  What's your opinion on an AV with the bigger engine?
Thanks,
 
There seems to be fewer post about problems with those having the 6.0 or even a 6.2 motor, don't know if the motors are more sturdy or that they are so rare that few people own them and are members here?
Assuming that owner was a conscientious owner and did proper maintenance it may be a good deal. You may want to check www.kbb.com and www.edmunds.com for market prices in your area..
