That's exactly what I did 16 years ago , trading my F4 for an M6 .
If you're not a collector , go for the M6 .
It has the built in spot meter and the parts are easily available .
A black M6 is a good camera for Africa . I've tried it myself for years
in Djibouti , and this little camera is very un-aggressive .

The M4 is more likely to have a problem . You cannot be sure of what
you get until you've made a few films with it , but the repair could take 
months .
