Cool, thanks. One of my concerns is getting the latest version. Below is a history of the versions, their numbers and what changes were made. If I buy a 5.xxx can it be upgraded it to a 6.xxx version. Or, an early 6.xxx to the latest 6.5.2.0 version?

I think the "new" version of the cable is compatible with all of the software versions. The "old" version of the cable is only compatible with the old software. This cable looks like the new one (it looks just like mine). I thought there was a page on the durametric site that talked about the old cable and how to tell the difference and when they switched over to the new cable but I can't find it. Since the v6 software came out late 2009/early 2010 I would imagine that any cables sold in the last 5-6 years are the new cables.

If you purchase a version 5 cable, you would have to send it to Durametric to have them upgrade it to version 6, so you are better off getting a 6 to begin with. The software is updated several times a year, but the updates are free.
