Having had a JD530 5x6, the only reason I'd want anything smaller would be if I were downsizing to a small operation with small equipment.........which I have done upon retiring. In that regard I have a 5x4 which is a 5x6 choked off at 4' diameter. The reduced diameter for the 5x4 vs the 4x6 (in your question) allows for easier viewing (around the bale) ahead when mounted on the FEL of a smaller tractor.
Given all other things equal, I did some volume dimensioning on different sized bales to see just what you get when comparing the different dimensioned bales. Taking a 5x6 at 141 volume units, a 5x4 as I now have comes in at 63 and a 4x6 113. For a 4x6 choked down to 5.5 it's 95, and choked down to 4x5 is 78 or about half the volume of the 5x6.
On weight, again all things being equal, estimating 1600# for the 5x6 the 4x6 would come in at 1280# and mine, which I can pickup with my Ford 2000 easily with no front weights, equals 715#.
