HELP! A Kitchen Light Dilemma...

In our kitchen, we currently have a very nice, contemporary looking ceiling fan. However, the 'can' style light kit not only provides awful lighting- 2 of the sockets have blown! Instead of rewiring, we went in search of a new light kit only to find it an impossible style and finish to match. We found tons of reviews of others claiming the task impossible and hating on how poor the light quality is. SO.... no more ceiling fan. We're taking it down in favor of a new pendant lamp, but the decision is tricky! The new light needs to be bright (we need more light!), it needs to look good (first thing you see when you walk in the front door), and it needs to go with the Ikea Calypso light over the sink.

Here's the kitchen now:

And here are the current runners (hastily Photoshopped in- sizes are very approximate):

1- George Kovacs Large 3 Light Pendant

$270, 20.5" diameter, 3- 100 watt bulbs

(pricey, but the best light quality we think)

2- Possini Euro Mushrooms White 6 Light Pendant

$160, 14" diameter, 6 - 40 watt bulbs

(likely good lighting, fun & unique, but small)

3- Sputnic Chrome Chandelier

$208, 24" diameter, 9- 60 watt bulbs

(a big energy sucker since CFLs probably won't fit- but high on light & fun style)

4- Eden Pendant

$50, 19.75" diameter, 1- 100 watt bulb

(super cheap & simple, but only 1 light & it seems the least compatible with the Calypso)

5- Nelson Saucer Bubble Lamp

$330, 25" diameter, 1 - 150 watt bulb

(clearly the best looking, classic, but only 1 light, expensive, and I'm afraid it might get filthy in a kitchen)

Any thoughts??? The Nelson is the obvious choice in my mind, but the #1 deterrent is the placement so close to the stove- plus the lighting probably isn't as bright as it could be (I'd have to save a bit for it, but that wouldn't deter me). Regardless, balancing price, lighting, looks, and Jesse's opinion is trickier than I thought (and I can't believe how many lights have only 1 measly 60 watt bulb!). Craigslist and ebay have been fruitless or inappropriate for kitchens. I could use really some outside thoughts or suggestions....

EDIT: We went with the Nelson pendant... it was my first choice, and we think it'll look the best with the calypso. The sputnik looking ones would be a dusting nightmare, and #1 (the close runner-up) was too boring for me to look at first thing when i walk in the door. Plus, we want to feel like we have UFOs over our heads :D It's ordered & on it's way- can't wait to share how it looks & thanks SO much for all your thoughts & opinions!
