I do much the same thing, although my display board uses five Renzillas for a total of 480 monitored channels...

Well I have hit another Ws 28** debbie downer . 
I can power 100 sk 6812 from the usb on the PC and individually chat with each and without issue .
After connecting up a mere 5 of these through hole Ws 2811 , I have hit the limit .
Adding a 6th produces a white pixel that will not chat .
In summary these Ws pixels are power goblins and produce a buzzkill to being a simple multi beat-track solution .
On another note , this forces my hand at connecting multiple strings of sk 6812 to a single data source and prove or disprove its reliability .
The way these Sk are designed/assembled , makes easy work for them to be through hole as well .

Some times you need to kick yourself ! . This was a boob error on my part in just assuming things to be a given .
Of course I checked the pixel count setting in the EspixelStick GUI first .....................right .
Why are the answers always in the last place you look ?
If you think about it, even if you find it in the first place you look, it is also in the last place you look.
At least you are looking!
