I did two different 4 character parties recently. It seemed a little cozier with less waste and overlap. Everyone had a job to do, and there was no room to be lazy. With 6 player teams, I found there to be a lot of slack where a lot of times at least one character's efforts are constantly irrelevent or wasted. Like everyone above me mentioned, it also works the individual characters harder and it develops their skills more. I would say that a 4 player team is about 90% as powerful as a 6 player team because of this, and a lot more fun since you need everyone to contribute.
