I presume you mean 5000-7000 via FUE. I've heard from multiple surgeons that 8000-9000 are available via FUT.

Lets be honest anyone who gets an FUT nowadays is a certified bozo...

I'm getting my first FUE in 5 months but it's because I want to be able to buzz my hair, and because I have the money for it, oh and I almost forgot, I don't want an ugly ass scar at the back of my head.
But I understand why people would opt for FUT if they're short on money and if they're are absolutely sure they will not be forced to shave their head in the future.

FUE is a no brainer really, a linear scar will only cause you to get FUE in the future to cover it up when you decide you want to shave.

That is not true. Both FUE and FUT each have their place. For some people FUT is the better option. There are more factors involved than you realize.

I have to say that Dr. Cole is making himself look not so great. There is no question that FUT or "strip" is a great option for so many people and H&W present the best results on the internet. Dr. Cole's post here looks extremely self serving. Anyone who believes that FUT is outdated in anyway does not understand hair transplantation. I'm totally turned off to Cole by this!

I'm torn on this, Spencer himself discourages young transplant patients from getting FUT (he says that FUT people should wait until they are at least 35 so they know what hairstyles they will want be happy with for the rest of their lives). But there's no doubt that FUT is cheaper, allows for larger sessions, and has a higher yield.
On the whole Norwood 6 question, Joe (bless him) has been very honest in the past when he has said that his result (and presumably Bobman's result) is not typical and that high norwood patients cannot go into the HT process expecting to have the same result. I suppose that's where it becomes important to talk to your surgeon to get a good idea of what (and isn't) possible FOR YOU.

I believe Dr Cole is a talented surgeon and he is one of several whom have helped propel the field forward enabling it to make great strides in recent times.
However, I feel these regular outbursts are completely unprofessional and should not be coming from someone in his high position in the industry.
I have a huge amount of respect for Joetronic. He is an exceptionally knowledgeable, honest and a transparent guy who gives great advice. I do find it hard to criticise H & W when they are the only clinic that has hundreds of before and after photos & videos in HD which NO other clinic does.
Regarding the two procedures, they both have their positive & negative components and hence why they both have a place in the industry as every patient's situation is unique. A good surgeon that performs both procedures will confirm that.
