VCP 5 about to expire - VCP 6 or VCP 6.5?

My VCP 5 is about to expire in November so I am considering my options.

It is my understanding that once I hold the valid VCP 5 that I can take the bridge exam( 2V0-621D) to get to VCP 6.

Or I can take a 2V0-622 exam which would get me to VCP6.5.

Am I correct in the above?

Path 1 here: VCP6-DCV Certification (you could also pass the regular 2V0-621 rather than the delta 2V0-621D that is mentioned)

OR

Path 2 here: VMware Certified Professional 6.5 - Data Center Virtualization

Thank you Scott!

In your opinion would it make more sense to take the VCP 6.5 now?

The bridge exam doesn't have a lot of material that I could find online but now that I know I don't have to take it I can chose between the 6 or 6.5 path.

6.5 would make sense from the perspective of it being the current version, it would be the better one to have on your CV - but then there are many more 6.0 exam resources available as it's been around for longer.
