TO my understanding, reading EKGs has not changed, so I would buy the cheaper of the two.

dubins is good but if you want to rock 12 lead ECG's I cannot recommend Garcia's Art of the 12 lead ECG enough. Its awesome and has enough full 12 leads to practice on for a long time.

I went with the 5th edition myself (got it DIRT cheap on ebay). I think the 6th might have nicer fancier pictures (With some color?) but overall the content is the same as someone mentioned.

I heard from a classmate that Dubin was a child molester. I wasn't sure if I believed it. I just did a google search and found out it's sort of true:

Dubin is an ex-convict whose medical license was revoked after a 1986 conviction in Florida on federal drug and child pornography charges. He was sentenced to five years in a federal prison and was released in 1989 after having served three½ years.
