Default HKS EVC 5 vs. 6

I've been looking for a good deal on a new or slightly used EVC 6 for a while, but I guess this unit is too good for people to sell. I came across a person who is selling a EVC 5 in fairly good condition though. The application I will be using it on is a JWT TT. So my questions are:
1) What are the significant differences between the two?
2) Does the 6 work much better than the 5?
3) Are they both equally easy to tune?
4) Reliability of both?

Thanks in advance.

I have the EVC6 and I like it a lot. I don't really know much about the EVC 5, but I can tell you that the 6 is easy yo use, holds boost extremely well, and is EXTREMELY accurate is displaying boost pressure. I say if you can afford to drop the coin on the 6, then by all means do it. Wish I could help you more, but I will say that if you wind up going with the 6 you won't be disappointed.
