Default Can someone explain me a little more about the differences btw a 4, 6,8 puck clutches?

I understand that if you have a 1000psi pressure plate, fewer pucks yeilds more pressure per puck. But I don't understand why would that turn into better grip.
Other points like drivability, reliability and anything else you thing to be relevant please add.
I currently have a sachs 4 puck clutch with a LWFW and even know is hard to drive I get use to it very quick.
Thanks

more pucks = easier to drive, I believe is the general consensus.
