RIPE Atlas has a number of ongoing measurements, including pings to
Facebook, google, etc. from all probes. Looking at FB, the *average* RTT on
IPv4 (using 13K+ probes) is 19.76ms, same on IPv6 (with 7K+ probes) is
17.83ms. I don't know who said "2ms advantage for IPv6" but they were spot
on.

In case you're interested in the raw data, or are curious to do the
averaging for precisely the same probes:
