I would suggest getting 6.1 then converting. IBM made some changes that eliminate some situations that need coding changes. Should be the same license cost, just cost you install time. Be sure to convert to Country Multiplex / MSU licensing so you don't have a limited time before having to pay for 4.2 AND 5.2/6.1.
