6 colour sorting

How many people are using 6 colours on a Vantage ?  3 colours off the 488,
APC plus APC-Cy7 (very weak) with the 633 and Hoechst is fine off the UV.
Unfortunately I need colours such as cascade blue/yellow and something
brighter than the APC-Cy7.

Can anybody who uses more than the standard colours give me a suggestion as
to how to either increase sensitivity or which colours work best.  I also
have a feeling that it maybe an issue between the Vantage and the MoFlo
(being more sensitive).  I know all the available fluorochromes out there,
so what I need to know is which one people have used and got to work.

Would a 120mW from a I-70 laser greatly increase the UV signals, or should
the 60mW from an enterprise be sufficient ?

Hoping that somebody can help ?

Andy
