What perfect timing! I can get a mint one. I understand there's the newer FD6600, 6700.... I guess my question is is FD6500 still relevant in today's modern compact crank set?

If you are using a 9 speed chain, the 6500 will be your best choice. 6600 and 6700 are for 10 speed chains. You can shift a 10 speed chain with a 9 speed front derailler but the 10 speed version will shift it quicker, in my experience. A 6500 FD will work fine with a compact crank to actually answer your question directly
