If you have a v1, you cannot run version 5 firmware.
v1 -> 4.1.x
x86 -> 4.2.x
v2 -> 5.x.x
RN1xx/RN3xx/RN5xx (announced 18 March) -> 6.x.x
It seems to me that you if you purchased a v2, but received a v1, you should probably contact the seller. At the very least they should give you a rebate for selling you a product that was end-of-lifed a year ago.
In terms of exchange options, you are at in interesting point. You could ask for an RN104 or an RN314 (which is just announced). You'd be moving into brand-new territory.
Or maybe go for an ultra-4 (which will be replaced by the new line, but which has good features and is stable). At this point I personally wouldn't go for a v2. It is also being replaced by the new line, and hasn't been out there very long.
