Default 6005-T5 spar extrusion

Hello,
Does anybody have knowledge about using aluminum alloy 6005-T5 for a
wing spar extrusion in replacement of 6061-T6 ?
Apparently it has the same properties and is more extrudable. I am
concerned by the "same properties", especially fatigue; but cannot
find anything on the subject and I am completely ignorant myself.
Thanks for any input !
