High magnification EPs

I'm perpetually tempted to get higher magnification EPS even though I know that unless the seeing is perfect it's pointless. This raises a few interesting questions ...
1. Who actually uses 3, 4 & 5 mm EPs (all the big names make them so they must useful for something?)
2. I have a 12" lightbridge ... whats the highest maginfication I can reasonably expect
3. Any recommendations for a high magnification EP for planets & splitting doubles (I like 82 degree EPs & my highest magnification EP is 9mm). I'm considering a 6.7mm ES or even the new Meade 5.5mm SWA, both can be bought fron the US for $100 to $120)

Any recommendations?
