Buying older casebook: Conlaw, Brest 5th vs. 6th Ed Forum

[hellojd]

Any thoughts on this, and are there huge differences between the two? For some reason I can't find cheap, used 6th editions, and people are willing to give me the 5th ed for basically free.

Important caveat: I'm a 3L and don't care much about anything, but conlaw seems somewhat interesting and I don't want to do a lot of extra work in finding cases, etc.

With that particular textbook, just note that almost all of the cases are edited down. If there's a case in the 6th edition that's not in the 5th, you'll have to either scan it or print off a Westlaw copy and guess what parts you don't have to read.
