The gripe with the 3" is now you're sporting an L frame in a 3" barrel for 357 performance. 357 does need some barrel length for all that blast you get.

Revolver ammo is more range novelty now (for me). So even the 3" has some appeal. Agreed. The 3" feels more "floating" free while the 4" feels solid...though not light.

Either way, I agree the 4" 686 is the bee's knees.
