Right now I am currently looking at the Bowtech Reign 6 as an upgrade from my Hoyt Charger. Does anyone have an opinion or experience with this bow?

It's hard to shoot a modern bow that isn't good, 95% of it boils down to personal preference. I myself haven't ever been able to get over the limb de-lamination issue bowtech was plagued with a few years back, despite it appearing to be remedied. Upgrading in bows is all relative and hindsight 20/20 but your charger is possibly hoyt's most underated bow of all time. It was a price point model but it performed well beyond the cost. I wouldn't be looking to get rid of it unless I didn't shoot it well or absolutely had to. Just my $.02.... I don't get as hung up on "new and cool" like some others do anymore. I bought an xpedition 2 yrs ago for my compound set up and I'll likely shoot it until the cams fall off, even though the market says there's better out there every year.
A few years ago (2008) I had an elite gt500. I love my current set up but I could still just as well be shooting that elite. When they advertise themselves as the worlds most shootable bow, they aren't lying. That thing flat out performed and I sold it to upgrade to a different manufacturer's bow, only to find out it didn't shoot nearly as well as my elite. I've since upgraded again (xpedition) but the point is I had something that worked and wasn't broke, I didn't need to fix it but tried anyway and ended up for a few years with (what I perceive to be) and inferior product to what I had.
If your charger works and you shoot it well, I'd personally keep runnign it.
