I bought the M4 16gb 256 from amazon premium renewed for $220. How much of a difference is this compare to the M6?

Significantly faster CPU & GPU performance, up to 4 faster local AI inference (prefill), WiFi 7, 2.5G Ethernet... but still, nowhere near as good a value as the M4 mini (was down to $499 new at one point, non-edu). Soldered single NAND chip doesn't help either (2x slower SSD than on 512GB and higher SKUs). RAM is a bit slower too on the base model (153 vs 170 GBps); Apple is definitely trying to upsell you CTO M6 or M5 Pro.Latest reports suggest that the M4 mini's trade-in value is North of $500, so you might be up 2.0-2.5x on your investment already!

However if they live within (in my case) 70 miles of a (3, actually) Micro Center, shoppers will likely find that Best Buy will price match for Apple products against Micro Center. Don't know what the distance limit is, it may be even greater than that. I have (for clients) successfully gotten BB to price match extraordinary Micro Center discounts several times over the past few years.
Unfortunately, for this deal specifically, Best Buy doesn't even show the new M6 Mac minis on their site yet.

Can they just use plastic casing and reduce the price by another $400. We don't need the aluminum casing for these mini's.

That just shows how much the "value" of our money has lost in the last few years . . .
