I do not know that for a fact. Rather, it is based more on what I have seen in the industry.

I cannot speak to any significant advantages of one version over the other since I am not an end user, doctor, or someone seeking MU certification.

My recommendation is based solely on the "better safe than sorry" approach. It would, after all, be annoying to find you cannot go to version 6.5 without first upgrading to version 6.xx. That would most certainly double your upgrade time and introduce many more changes your staff would have to learn about at once.
