The basic can be upgraded to the Shiny at any time, even after installing into a console. License upgrades can be purchased here.
Please see the Retro GEM documentation to learn more.
The optional spare flex isn't required, one flex cable is already included in the console kit. But sometimes mishaps happen during the install and an extra flex will give you a second attempt.
