I will continue looking for a good source for 6061-T6 though. If it's what my customers want, then that's what I'll try to make available.

Orion,
There has been many threads on CD pertaining to the benefits of 6061 vs 6063 and why it is a superior product. Because you can not source 6061 in your area, I would expect that you would tell your customers that 6061 2x1x1/16" is better and could be bought through Adam Heard to support 973 for a
cheaper price or Online Metals. Adam has sold tubing to many customers on the east coast and is reputable. I know we are all trying to making a dollar but I think being honest and spreading knowledge will be better for your business. Modifying your site description would be a good start. Chow out
EDIT: Just checked the site again and realized that you sell 1x1x1/16" in 6063... If you knew that 6063 was an inferior product for tubing why would you sell it for the 1x1 size since its fairly common in 6061.
