6hrs is not that bad since you are flying business.
Wait for valet checked bag, don't stress about taking the bus, go the Flagship lounge, enjoy a nice long hot shower, freshen up for the long haul, maybe explore the lounges at Bradley, have a few bites to eat...leisurely walk to your gate.
But...as they say...YMMV
