If you aren't prepared invest the time and take some risks, then probably you should stick with OS4.
There is an extensive thread on the subject here: viewtopic.php?t=70133 The "WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!" is quite correct. Netgear won't support you, Netgear is not recommending that you switch, and Netgear is not providing information on how to do the switch. So if you proceed you are on your own.
People who have taken the plunge have found that
-OS6 mostly works with the x86 legacy NAS (ultra and pro)

-the switch (either direction) will destroy all data on the NAS. So you will need a full backup.
