An alternative is something like this. There are smaller, simpler, cheaper versions, that require a little more work, as well as fancier adjustable ones which might be nice since a 6V system isn't really 6V just like a 12V system isn't really 12V when running.
Benefit is the voltage is fixed and independent of load or input voltage, and they're very efficient.
