I hope everyone understands that more pistons does not equal better.

Since I already mentioned caliper stiffness here, a 4-pot is pretty much always going to be stiffer than a 6 or more piston caliper.

The main benefit for going to more pistons is to have a longer and larger pad, which might last longer, without uneven wear. Anything more than 6 is pretty silly IMO.
