My SS 1-6 was better on 1x than my buddies nikon 1-4 M223. But that's a $1000 scope compared to a $200 one so I'm not sure how helpful that is.

You loose a little eyebox, so consistent cheek weld helps. Its a fairly minor difference, and Im not any slower or hindered in any way with the 1-6.

What 1-6x are you interested in? They range from anywhere from $200 to over $2000. There is a huge difference.
I had a Meopta K-dot 1-4x for about 5 years which I recently replaced with a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6x. I also have a MTAC 1-4x in my possession as well. The MTAC while a good optic, is a few steps behind my Meopta, which is a few steps behind the Razor. With all 3 scopes on 1x, the MTAC had the most fishbowl effect, about .1x more magnification, and narrowest FOV. I'm personally not a fan of the thick donut reticle for 500+ yards shooting on small targets. Also, Primary Arms has a 15% off sale going on right now, you can get a killer deal. Here's a review I posted between the Meopta and Razor. Quoted:
Vortex Razor Gen II 1-6x24 It replaced my Meopta K-dot 1-4x22, which isn't a slouch by any means. Pros: Larger FOV Larger Eyebox More magnification (duh) Low profile knobs, works fine w/ or w/o covers and easy to dial Shorter (not an issue for me, but some people like shorter optics) Cons: Double the price Heavier No sunshade (the K-dot has a built in sunshade, which is why it's so long Magnification ring is quite stiff Large occular may limit some mounting options. Similarities: Outstanding glass Daylight bright reticles (although I'll give the edge to the K-dot, due to the larger reticle) Off position between each brightness setting .5 MOA adjustments SFP reticles Notables: I prefer the thinner JM-1 reticle on the Razor. Personal preference. Razor eye relief is about an inch longer. You may need a different mount depending on current equipment
