What would be the best cable to get for flashing a K700i?

I have a Vodafone branded K700i and I want to flash its firmware to a newer version (its got R2N001 on it at the moment).

I might just use the Sony Ericsson Update Service, but I might decide later to debrand it as well.

Does anyone know if the CSS-25 will work with the SEUS? It only says DSS-25, and the DSS-25 seem to be harder to get.

If I was just going to use DaVinci could I get away with just using a cheaper USB cable? Can you use the "USB Data cables" off ebay with DaVinci or do they have to be a specific USB cable?

I also wanna debrand/flash the K700i with the newest firmware available for DaVinci.

Since the K700i doesn't include a datacable, I have to buy one. For just 1 flashing an original SE Datacable will cost around 40 euro. Too expensive. Cheaper cables are around 15 euro and that's acceptable.

Just want to know if I can use a cheap cable for DaVinci.
