I need to buy a JTAG cable for programming a Spartan 3 and a Spartan 6 FPGA.
I already have this one:

between them, what would I be getting extra if I bought the more expensive
one?
What you probably actually want is a simple adaptor to the
correct socket. I assume the 2x7 is the Xilinx standard 2mm
header, in which case adaptors are more than likely
available for a lot less than a new JTAG pod. I'd look one
up for reference, but I'm only on my phone at the moment.
