Question for lightguy on Cree LR6 Install

Hi lightguy,

I am planning on installing several LR6's in our family room. Although 6" lights would not have been my first choice for size if availability and cost weren't issues (I got a great deal on the LR6), I would like to minimize to the extent possible the size of the holes/cans in the ceiling, if this makes a difference. Cree's installation instructions show that a minimum can diameter of 5.75" will work and their compatibility list shows cans that have ceiling hole requirements ranging from 6.25" up to 7".

First, will can size make a difference in terms of appearance? Second, what reasonably priced can would you recommend for use with these lights?

Thanks!
