The 6 in-line is the least vibrating one of the options, but the 4 is very close.

Were you including flat engines in that statement? Like, an online 6 is better balanced than a flat 6?
If not, do you happen to know how a flat 6 compared with an inline 6 for vibrations/balance? A quick search didn’t find me anything. I know flat engines have to offset the cylinders a little.
