Ultegra 6500?

    Anyone know how Ultegra 6500 compares to the other models (6600, 6700)?

    I've a Focus Variado Expert 2007 model and the rear brake caliper siezed up today. Went at it with degreaser and got it going again but one of the bolts that holds one caliper onto the other is completely siezed and the hex-hole has completely stripped, but the bolt is a tiny bit loose, so the calipers rock a small bit so I'd like to fix this.

    I think the brakes are Ultegra 6500, although I'm not certain. The 6500 rear brake is on CRC for only £14 at the minute, so I'd be happy enough to grab that if it is the same model unless someone can tell me a good reason to fork out on the more expensive 6600 for £30 more!?!

    OR if someone knows where I can get that little bolt so I can drill out the existing one and save myself €15! :D

    I run 6500 complete groupset, brakes work fine, £15 sounds like a good deal, I wouldn't see the point in spending an extra 30 anyhow.
