That's such an American stereotype; that bigger is better. We don't know the full capabilities of either suit as we barely saw them in combat (fingers crossed for an extended battle scene on the Blu-ray), and yet because it's slimmer/smaller you assume the Mk. 6 is inferior. Newsflash, it's slimmer than the Marks 3 and 4 as well, but which came first? The last 20 years of consumer electronics (mobile phones, TVs, cameras, computers) has taught us that with time technologies are refined and made smaller. Hell, that was Tony Stark's main mentality, and he did it when he replaced the Iron Man mark 3 with the 4.

In Endgame, Rhodes knew he was going to be travelling to an alien planet. You don't think he'd want to play it safe and take his best suit?

Look, I'm not stating that this is the mark 5 or 7. I don't know for certain either way. None of us seem to. But your reasons for why this is the 7 are pretty weak; that it's bigger and we see it at the end of the movie. The Iron Man suit we see throughout most of Iron Man 3 is the 42, and yet nearly three dozen earlier suits appear for the final fight.
