From what I understand, the 6th edition comes with online access to the practice questions while the 5th edition comes with a cd. I have the 5th edition and the cd makes a good coaster to place under a cold beverage because I have an iPad and a small laptop that does not have a CD-ROM drive. I'll be buying the 6th edition soon.

If I were you, I would go for the 6th edition. The 6th edition was published AFTER the change in the NCLEX passing standards (implemented on April 1st, 2013). The 5th edition was published in 2010, long before the most recent change in passing standards.
As for the differences, I don't know, but I do that the newer is usually better .
