4K vs. 2Y, not much difference?

First goes by really fast, you have to think about second the instant you
put it into first. But I still like the 4K (or 4K equivalent in the 16Vs
case). A swapped fifth is a good thing though, and sixth would be just
perfect, actually. But I'd do 4Ks again without hesitation.
