I have been on the superbrightleds.com site and noticed they also do 5 and 6

Sorry, I haven't used anything but the 4-cluster one, but I can tell you that it's pretty damn bright.  I don't have any nagging thoughts of "Gee, I wish I had gotten the 6-cluster one instead," if that helps at all.

Yeah thats great.

I was kinda thinking I may get them and think 'o, if only they were a little bit brighter.'

Does the spending never end? Ha ha

I've used the 3 led 12V white ones of these, http://www.happcontrols.com/lighting/915wb61w.htm  They are very bright, and look really good behind standard red coin rejects.
