how would you rate this one in comparison to SpeedTouch 516 v6?
Hard to say, I haven't personally used the Dlink DSL-2320B.
However, the DSL-2320B has official support for ADSL2+ Annex M which increase the upstream from 1 mbps to 3.5 mbps, while the ST516v6 doesn't have official support for Annex M, but which can be enabled through telnet command line. ST516v6 uses Broadcom BCM6338 chip, and this chip supports ADSL2+ Annex M, but this feature is not automatically enabled by default in ST516v6.

ST516v6 should be a good little cheap modem. Can be found for around 60$ online.
Thank you for the detailed answer

I really appreciate it!

 However, you should always keep in mind that even if a modem works well with a particular DSL line, you might not get the same result with the same modem.

Different modems behave differently even on the same line. Some can extract a better speed out of a bad line than others.
If you have a good line then the ST516v6 is very good, if you have a poor line then the ST516v6 might not do as well. The 2wire modem should do better with a bad line than the ST516v6.
