I have it on my RX400h for over 3 years now. Still super firm and supportive, even used it a few times as a diaper changing area for my 2 months old. The 4.5 came out after I bought the 6.5, if I had to do it all over again, I would rather do the 4.5 instead.

Any particular reason why you would do the 4.5 over the 6.5?

With 4.5, it's matching on both driver and passenger side making it flush, on the 6.5 only driver side gets the jumbo size arm rest and passenger is stuck with factory arm rest making it uneven
and leaving a good size gap in between. Access to the storage bin below will always require lifting the arm rest regardless which one you choose.

Arm Rest
Its a very simple clean mod. With a much better feel than the narrow ones.
Here is the web page.

The quality seems very good, the leather is thick and supple. Of course time will tell but they do have a three year warranty.
Someone on here posted they had used them for three years with no difficulties other than the driver's rest pushing off to the right slightly. Knowing the mechanics of the things, that could most likely be adjusted.
I'll post a pic every year.

Bought mine 4 years ago and it still works great and looks great. The only regret I have is that the 4.5 inch were not available back then...just the 6.5.

So what is the general concensus?
The (2) 4.5" armrests are better than the one 6.5"?
I drive 40k a year at minimum and am really looking into doing this mod.
Or since I am primarily by myself in the car, I will like the 6.5" dispite being a fan of symmetry?

With both rests down you will have more than enough space for the laziest arm and certainly more than the single. Also, with the 4.5 it would be easier to access the storage bin and the seat belt fastener.
With both down you can land small aircraft in there...

Since our rx330 is our family car and it's usually my wife and me together we got the 4.5" armrests. We love them. the quality is 1st class and the color and leather match is perfect.
