I have the same pads from the same source and I'm using the larger 6" counterweight. I was able to polish for several hours without getting numb hands, so IMHO that is the right combination. However, if you don't currently have the 6" on hand, I'd give it a try (off the car) with the 4" to see how it feels. I had the two weights from day 1 so I just started with the 6.

Curiously, my polisher (7424 model) originally came with a 5" counterweight installed, not a 4 as you mention.
