Default 6" duct bathroom exhaust fan

OK this is probably a really stupid question but I thought I ask...

I would like to get a high power exhaust fan for my bath. Most of them use
6" duct to vent to the roof. My roof vent is 4" and I don't want to change
it.

Can I get a fan for 6" and then use a reducer to go from 6" to 4" duct then
to the vent?

Will this make it work "better" than a regular 4" exhaust fan?

I think this is a bad idea...

It'll work, but it might be noisier and pull a little less air than it
would with a 6" vent. Whether you'll get better performance than from a
smaller fan designed for a 4" vent, I don't know.
