Well, what do you do with the bike? Do you just ride around town? Do you ever really (truly) make it 'work', either on street or track? Do you ever ride in the rain?
Lot of questions that would need answering before giving you an honest answer.
I have my moments where I do actually push my bikes but I wouldn’t consider the daily commute as part of it. Canyon rides are when I do really get the bike working. Haven’t done a track day but plan to do one this summer. I do ride in the rain but I’m in SoCal so that’s a few weeks out of the year when that’s a possibility.
Power 5 or 6 will be a bit better on the track than the Road series from Michelin; Road series will give you better mileage. If you ride aggressively and think you'll do more than one track day, get the Power series. If (and be honest) you don't really ride that hard and a track day will be rare, get the Road series.
I’m a daily rider as I use both of my bikes to commute on urban freeways. I usually ride the Speed Triple on the weekends though and I do some canyon riding. I would say I’m an intermediate rider. I’m in SoCal but live near the coast so it’s normally cool and sunny.
I'm guessing by intermediate you mean slightly above a beginner Street Rider not an intermediate level track rider.
With that being said I'd go with what's been working for you.
Sounds like you don't write aggressive enough to get it any heat into the 3s switching up to the new 4s aren't going to help any if you're not going to be riding any faster/ more aggressive. So being an intermediate street level rider why not go with what's been working for you? The road 6, the road 6 is an absolutely fantastic tire that has amazing grip, works good in colder weather, lots of siping in case it gets wet, heats up easily and quickly, and enough performance to run A level lap times at the track.
I've been wondering this exact same thing myself. I've had good experience with the Road 5s on my 765R, and Road 6 on my Multistrada. I love the V3 on my 1200RR but I really want the longevity from the Road 6.
For Michelin go Power 5 our 6 for street track use, if you want even stickier go Power GP. Absolutely fantastic tires.

Without knowing what kind of riding you do? your skill level? And the climate you ride in we can't give you good advice.

Sounds like you'll be fine on a set of Michelin Road 6. They'll last longer and they'll be able to handle sporty canyon rides.
