Two points:

a) EAL 4 (or EAL4+) is the highest assurance level typically obtained comercially. Read: Everything higher is too expensive.

b) EAL 5 is not "better" than EAL 4. You have to compare the security targets or even better look which PPs are fulfilled.

c) LTP has been driven enormously by certification, IIRC.
