Is it worth more?

I have an early, low-frame blued Security-Six, 4" barrel, serial #150-16xxx. Condition is very good, with a little cylinder ring and a touch of holster wear at the muzzle and lower frame. Does it have any premium over a later model in similar condition?

I'd say not, unless you find a specialized collector of "Six Series" who just doesn't have one and HAS to have one. Otherwise it's just a nice "Six". And some people avoid them because of the difficulty of finding aftermarket or replacement grips, which can make them a little harder to sell.

It does to me.

Depends on trhe individal. I collect the six series and prefer the high back frame. I would not pay a premium for the low back unless it was mint in box.

Thanks for the information. Guess I'll just keep it. I was kinda wanting a 6" barrel, but this one was a very good buy.

Altamont has some nice grips, and you can find some on Ebay every now and again.
