Noob clutch question

What's the number of plucks on the clutch mean? I've noticed that some clutchs have the same hold power, but different number of plucks. I was told that one is more aggressive than the other, but what does that translate into as far as how heavy it feels and how forgiving it is? Thankyou for the help with this noob question.

Mainly clamp pressure. More pucks means more surface area, so if the same holding power is desired you can use less clamping force, making it easier to disengage the clutch, making it more 'streetable'. Usually a 6 puck will be easier to drive than a 4 puck, but a 4 puck can be more agressive while still staying cool and holding, but the spring pressures are a bitch and engagement will be harsh. Does that make any sense??
