What is the difference between a 5th generation apple ipod classic and a 5.5 generation classic apple ipod?

I am thinking about getting either a 5th generational ipod or a 5.5 generation ipod classic. What is the difference? Any experience with one or the other or possibly both? Which one should I get? Thanks!

1. Just a firmware update. No real difference in it's capabilities
2. The 5th gen and 5.5 gen are essentially the same, but the 5.5 gen has a brighter screen and it also includes a small search function (to quickly find songs/albums/artists/etc. on the iPod). The classic is 6th gen. It's got a slightly different design (more rounded) and the screen designs are a little different. The main difference between the 5th and 6th gens is the space. 5th gens hold 30GB or 60GB, and 6th gens hold 80GB or 160GB. Good luck choosing =D
