No doubt, a ½A6-4 would be a great companion to the current ½A6-2, but I'm afraid the better (ie, more realizable) answer is a ½A3-4T adapted up to 18mm.

Indeed, after accidentally flying a couple of 1/2A6-4's in an Astron Scout at NARAM-50 (didn't realize they were LONG decertified), and finding they were the PERFECT motor for the Scout, I've used adapted 1/2A3-4Ts in it for even better flights.
