How to change cluster zoom level on click with Leaflet map?

I have a Leaflet map that has zoom levels 2-7 and uses the MarkerCluster plugin.

By default I have the L.MarkerClusterGroup disable clustering at zoom level 2 (which means no clustering) and I'm trying to allow the user to click a button that then changes the clustering zoom level to 5.

Is this possible?

I know I could do it by making two markercluster groups, one that has no clustering and one that has clustering and remove/add it based on click, but that just seems incredibly messy.

Really, there's several ways to do it but they are so incredibly clunky.

Code:

Default (2 is the lowest level of zoom):

var markers = new L.MarkerClusterGroup (
    {
        disableClusteringAtZoom: 2,
        maxClusterRadius: 100,
        animateAddingMarkers: true
    });

What I want to do be able to do:

 $('#mcluster').click(function() {
    //do some code that sets the disableClusterAtZoom to 5
});

I could not find a way to disable clustering or set a new value for disableClustering at zoom, but I found a less clunky way of achieving this.

var markers = new L.LayerGroup(); //non cluster layer is added to map
markers.addTo(map);
var clusters = new L.MarkerClusterGroup (
    {
        disableClusteringAtZoom: 5,
        maxClusterRadius: 100,
        animateAddingMarkers: true
    }); //cluster layer is set and waiting to be used

var clusterStatus = 'no'; //since non cluster group is on by default, the status for cluster is set to no
 $('#mcluster').click(function( event ) {
    if(clusterStatus === 'no'){
        clusterStatus = 'yes';
        var current1 = markers.getLayers(); //get current layers in markers
        map.removeLayer(markers); // remove markers from map
        clusters.clearLayers(); // clear any layers in clusters just in case
        current1.forEach(function(item) {  //loop through the current layers and add them to clusters
            clusters.addLayer(item);
        });
        map.addLayer(clusters);
    } else {
        clusterStatus = 'no';  //we're turning off clustering here
        var current2 = clusters.getLayers(); //same code as before just reversed
        map.removeLayer(clusters);
        markers.clearLayers();
        current2.forEach(function(item) {
            markers.addLayer(item);
        });
        map.addLayer(markers);
    }
});

I'm sure there is a more elegant solution but with my still growing knowledge this is what I came up with.
