Andrew, honestly I wouldn't worry about the grill being 5-slat or 7. In the overall big scheme of things, that is rather negligible. I bought my 2007 DB9 in Feb 2019 and it sported the 5-slat grill as well. Personally, I like the look of the 5-slat better, it's less busy looking.
I'd be far more concerned with the service history, the overall condition of the car, and then the car having all it's accessories that it originally came with. Owners manual, umbrella, and the trickle charger, can get outright expensive in a hurry, if it's missing any one of those items.
Wonderful experience shopping for a DB9 but, keep in mind a lot of these cars are neglected maintenance wise. Just be on your toes whether you decide to buy the 2006 or a different one. Have someone well versed in DB9's to go over your prospective purchase thoroughly.
Good luck in your search!!
