Putting them on the 6 would cause capacity issues on the southern section of the route as between the town and Owton Manor, passengers jump on either the 6 or 36 whichever turns up first. Personally I'd say the midibus fleet works well in town
The Solos used by operators in the North East (GNE's latest ones especially) are only a few seats shy off the E200s ran by Hartlepool. 29 vs 34 I think.
