Talking Brake caliper comparison, input please!

I've got the power I want now to get the braking I want. I'm leaning toward Performance Machine calipers. Will going from the stock 4 piston calipers to PMs 4 pistons make a noticeable seat of the pants difference. I'd go 6 on the front but I can't seem to find a fitment for an 03 FLSTCI. Thanx for any input.

Thanx Joe, if I could find them I'd go 6 myself, not that much difference in price,
I'm sure the new 4s will make me happier than I am now though.
