Symbology for Clusters

Adding the ability to use symbology on clusters, rather than just the default of them being sized according to number of features in the cluster, would be so helpful.

I currently have a map with $ values for each point and these points have to be clustered since they're so close together. The clustering makes circles with more features in them larger than those with less features. However, this ends up looking confusing because each cluster is labeled with the SUM of the $ amounts within that cluster. This means that the $3 million cluster is larger than the $12 million cluster- I can understand this as a GIS professional, but this is a confusing layout for those not as familiar with aggregation and features. Especially when making Storymaps for independent public use, explaining the sizing discrepancies is bulky but necessary because the sizes don't match the numerical values in the labels. 

Thanks!

Thanks for this feedback & use case write up. This is something on our roadmap and hope to bring a similar experience like in binning where you can use the summary statistic fields created to style the aggregated data.  This wont be in the summer update but hoping for end of the year.
