Well, six is seldom wide open the whole contest.
As far as a drop in the bucket. If you compare 1006/254 with the incremental
10/10, you find that the incremental score difference on 10GHz is
268224 - 255524 = 12700 points, or the same as 50 additional QSOs on
six meters (assumming you got no additional mults out of those QSOs, which
if the band is dead, you probably won't).
So, there already is a 5X incentive to make these QSOs during quiet times.
