As LRRPF52 has shown several times on this forum, 6.5 Grendel >>> 6.8 SPC in every way. From long range precision shooting, to hunting loads, to SBR, to suppressed...etc. I don't know of one thing that the 6.8 offers that the 6.5 also matches and if not exceeds in performance. I don't know in what case one would pick a 6.8 SPC over a 6.5G, if for no other purpose than to be different. If looking strictly at performance, I don't see any case where the 6.8 SPC performs any better.
Sounds like you have your favorite and your opinion on the matter. That's what's important.
When it comes to rifles, especially regarding two cartridges as close in performance as these two, "performs" is an extremely tacky term to use.
When they are this close, the "performs" departments is 100% in the shooters hands.
