Sten has a noticeably lower freeze than the m4.
Its the same freeze difference between m4 and p90.

Sten also has a noticeably lower bullet spread.

As for your question, it really depends on your preference. If you like your M4, the only thing you'll find intriguing about the Sten is its lower freeze. Then again, you may find that you're better with more accurate guns. Depends on your style aswell.

While the Sten has less freeze, I'm personally not fond of the Sten because I've spent the majority of the past 10 years using guns with spread.
In my early Black Holst days(2003), when I first started getting pretty good, I used the AK47(had 100% accuracy).

I eventually started using the Famas when Pyro Tech released it in late 2004, and started building a style around spread.

Although, back then the only gun that had a freeze lower than the current P90 was the Uzi, which suffered in damage. Skill was really required back then. I wish I could tweak these guns to bring back that level of competition.
That was Cloyd's intent, and he got fired for it.

But yeah, I'd personally rather use an Uzi than either Sten or M4.
