I've got a small amount of time in the Pc with both props. In my experience the 5 blade has better T/O perf, quieter and marginally better climb perf. They were about the same cruise TAS for a given power setting. Not sure on the scheduled maintenance side of things but we did have some delamination issues with the 5 blade.
