The newest fluid is part number 001-989-43-03-10 aka "the 3353 fluid" and was developed for the 7-speed 722.9.
As far as cost is concerned, here's a quote from a post by M.B.DOC:
"The latest 722.6 fluid MB part number 001-989-21-03-10 has a list of $12.50
The NEWEST trans fluid for the 722.9 & 722.6 is MB part number 001-989-43-03-10 and has a list price of $7.50..."
He also added:
"dealers are using the 722.9 fluid to "help" 722.6 unusual (poor) shift qualities"
Which are two reasons that I'd like to use the new stuff, if it can be safely mixed with the old. I really don't see why it wouldn't safe, but have yet to hear for sure.
