I am looking at getting an ICD for programming my dsPIC's and I'm having some trouble finding out some basic things about them. Firstly, it seems that there are alot of clones of the ICD2 running around, and some of them call themselves ICD2.5. What is the difference (if any) between and ICD2 and an ICD2.5? I read the stickied review on the inchworm, but decided against getting it because I want a device that comes fully assembled and tested. I'm pretty new to this game, but I have enough experience to know the wide variety of things that can go wrong even when the hardware works perfectly. I have decided I want a USB device and not a RS-232 device because none of my computers currently have an RS-232 interface and I don't see the point in buying a converter cable just for this. Mostly what I am looking for is recommendations for devices that fit the above description from those who have used them.
tl;dr: What, in your experience is the best USB ICD2 or ICD2.5 device?
