Anyone have experience with a Silverstar in 4.5 gain?

I've got a Da-Lite HCCV presently and liked the sample of the 6 gain Silverstar Vutec sent me. There is just not much info on the 4.5 gain and every search I could think of on this site yielded nothing. Any comments?

they only manufacture the "6 gain" material. It actually measures closer to 2.7

I've read it. Very informative and an excellent job, Tryg. It's what interested me in the SS to begin with. What confuses me is several websites mention gains other than 6. This from projectorcentral.com:

"A flat front projection screen that can achieve high gain, high contrast, and color purity in ambient light. SilverStar is available in 4.5, 6.0 and 9.5 gains. Picture detail jumps out at you. With this type of performance, there is no need to reduce brightness in order to achieve high contrast and high blacklevels "

Several other retailers also. The most important, the Vutec site, only mentions the 6 gain. I thought I would attempt to clarify here.

I dont think the other gains are available for consumer home use. I am pretty positive they are not.
