i have lots of cables, but dont have anything to join onto the pins with. V6 would have been ideal and i would have been prepared to wait for it. I guess he had v5 stock to get rid off but i'm just not happy!

Most retailers will announce when a new version is coming out, then sell the old version at a discount. v6 is the same price as v5 - even if it was going to be more i would have paid it
