There is definitely a difference between the 4x vmc's and the 6x.
Back in June when I was on good fish on topwater, some of the bigger fish were bending the 4x hooks when they crashed the plug on the hit. I fish a light drag but even so I had 2 or 3 trebles bent. Also if the fish gets both the front and rear hooks in their mouth, they can leverage even the 6X trebles. Biggest fish I had on this year did that after playing with a pencil for almost 50 yards. It finally took it and after about 5 seconds it bent two prongs of a 6x vmc and the 6/0stainless siwash. It also stretched out the belly swivel which was just one of the big rosco ones as I need long swivels in my pencils. I was kind of suprised to see the 6x's fail before the rosco swivel.
