poll: What size light will be alright?

Jen bought me some 6" Navigator NV331 driving lights for Christmas, but I am looking into 5" KC's for quality and for the asthetics of a smaller light. These are what I am starting to looking into: 4.75" KC lights

Below are some quick (crappy) pics taken this morning and photoshops of 5" and 6" lights. Please let me know which ones you like the best, and if you have any input as to technical differences, that would be appreciated. Also, if you know of any good brands to go with, that would be great as well.

The first pic is 5" and the second one is 6".

well in that Photoshop, IMO the 6" just look too bbig for the frint end, and the 5" just looks right. ALthough it may just be the PS and in real life the 6" may not look too big for the front end(in that spot)

From looking at Swoop's truck (nice one btw) I can see the photoshop was off. Those 6" lights look good, I think I'll see what I can do so that Zach doesn't have the urge to kill somebody

I'm not sure if the 5" is new or not Neil, but thanks for the info. The 6" is definite for me now.
