Instead, the Triple (3-Up) Cree XLamp XP-E2 High Power LED Star Znomit linked to seems like a great choice. When he said I could wire two in series, was he talking about two of the LED's on that board, or two of those LED Stars? I'm assuming the former.
Yes, just use two of the LEDs to keep under 6V! So you'll need to remove one of the zero ohm resistors (the Cutter board is a bit easier to use in that respect).
