I generally use PHPedit but the latest version was a bit buggy with the debugger so i got a trial copy of PHPed, i like it's debugging support better than PHPedit but i still prefer PHPedit's general coding interface and it is nice to still be able to debug quickly with that too.

Unfortunately i cant run both DBG 2.16.7 and 2.11.26 at the same time.

Is there a way i can run them both at the same time - i dont mind switching a couple of lines in php.ini to load a different extension but when i load up PHPedit it starts the 2.16.7 listener instead of the older version in it's program directory

Anyone know if this is possible?

to switch between 2.11 and 2.16 you have to re-register the debugger each time. Just open phped\debugger subdirectory and run register.bat to have 2.16 registered.
