With folded easy flanges like yours, the sealing face is the folded 4", not the ring...
Might be easier to get the rings flat first, the fit them over the 4", then fold the ends over?

Generally it is too costly to make a column out of for hobby levels as you will also need to match heat input and boiler size.
not to mention tri-clamp costs.
Up to you though, if your wallet can take it go for it.
6" column and 100L boiler is generally considered the top of hobby levels.

But just weigh up the cost of fittings before you think too much further.
Easy flange dimensions change at 6" as well.
If you can run a 50L wash in 3-4hrs with 4", 6" won't be that much faster with a 50L boiler, 6" really wants an 80 or 100L boiler.
Which means bigger washes but less frequently, but would still take that 4-6hr mark depending on quality your chasing.
