Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - PR value of reciprocal vs One-way links, related vs not

sorry if this has been answered 100 times, but I did a search and the terms are too generic... I gave up after reading a dozen posts. Anyway, does anyone know the following.
Lets say I have a home page with a PR4, and I find another website's page with a PR5. Lets assume I'm the only link on it.
How much does a one-way link back to me count (85% of 5?). How much does the link count if I have a reciprocal link to the site (a lot less? is it worth it). Do multiple links on a page simply divide the transfered PR by the same amount.
And finally, how much does a non-related reciprocal link count versus a related link? not at all?
I'm asking all this because I'm wondering how many quality related reciprocal links I need to get to have any effect on my PR ranking, and if its worth it. Do I need 100 recip. links to equal a 1-way. If so, I put my effort into the 1-ways. Appreciate any answers (Google, are you listening?) or if anyone points me in the right direction. THANKS!
