I read all of these posts, and really I think it boils down to this: If you have a lot of time available in your life to learn the latest version and get used to it, then you prefer OOTP9 with all of its features and superior immersion. But if you have a very hectic life, can only play an hour here or there, might miss a week or month without playing it (and forget how to do certain things), then versions 5 and 6 probably fit your lifestyle better.
I have some family members and friends that are baseball fans but very busy guys. I think trying to get them to play OOTP9 for the first time would overwhelm most of them. Unless they really got committed time-wise, I think they'd give up. I think I could walk them through OOTP5 or 6.5 pretty easily and ramp up their enjoyment more quickly.
Ferraris are better than Camaros. Filet mignon is better than hamburgers. But if you don't have time to maintain the Ferrari or prepare a filet properly, you can still put a smile on your face tearing off in a Z28 to have a Whopper at Burger King.
