The DC motor version delivers higher torque at lower speeds (better for bread, thicker doughs), are quieter, and are more reliable. The AC version ramps speed at lower speeds if it gets stuck, which isn't great.
If you want a DC motor kitchenaid now, the only model you'll find it in is the 7 quart proline model. You can also tell by the measurement of power. DC motors in kitchenaids are given a HP number, while AC is given watts.

I think if you're making light batches, stick with this one and save $70. Or for about ~$100 in savings, use the following:
A.) Amex deal, $25 credit if you spend $250 or more.
or
B.) Chase 5% Cashback via PayPal checkout. Quarterly bonus.
Both Pro 5 Plus and the Pro 6 use metal parts. Both have a plastic part that will break if load gets to be too great. This is to prevent a motor failure - much costlier than a sprocket to replace.
Somewhere in a link I read in this thread it was said the Pro 5 Plus does not have an electronic speed sensor. It does. Both Pro 5 Plus and Pro 6 models do. Both models also have the Soft Start feature. Nice.
A 6 quart bowl may have problems with small quantities, like 1 or 2 egg whites or a vinaigrette, and a smaller bowl (3 Quart) will be better but adds cost. I am not ready to buy a smaller bowl for my Pro 5 Plus 5 quart bowl but I see why people do.
FYI - no matter what mixer you get make sure to first do the beater to bowl clearance test and adjust if needed. The first Pro 5 Plus I took home would not adjust properly but the replacement worked a charm.

The issue is what do you want to do with the mixer and how often. The stiffer the mix, the more the mix (batches) at one time, the more often you plan on doing that mix needs to be considered. Both can do bread and cookie dough but the more power the better for stiffer dough, more batches per time, repeating batches in same day, and making batches multiple times per week.
A couple links that discuss this...

The included coated accessories are great. It seems Kitchenaid is using more stainless steel for accessories and that is preferable to burnished aluminum IMO. Burnished aluminum accessories will oxidize if water is left to dry on them and a grayish or blackish powder will rub off, including into the food being mixed. Wash and dry immediately to prevent this. Stainless steel and the coated accessories do not have this issue and are dishwasher safe. The burnished aluminum works but needs a little attention after washing.
A flex edge beater will not eliminate scrapping but will reduce the times needed to manually scrape. I bought a knockoff and love it.
I do not use a pouring chute/shield but wouldn't object if the Kitchenaid Santa sent me one or, better yet, a sifter + scale attachment.

Costco sometimes will have specific models not sold anywhere else.
Chase 5% cashback via PayPal checkout and the free shipping makes it a better deal for my use.
Close to $100 difference when compared to Costco deal.
KitchenAid has dropped the prices since mid July. Sam's Club has them for $359 but you get additional accessories (Bakers Bundle); extra bowl and 5 attachments.
