The 6 speed is stronger and has much better spacing for track days. Yes, for just driving around town, I will just skip gears

Does the fact that the gears are far less helical in cut also effect their power consumption? Anyone care to venture a guess as to what I should be considering as a power loss factor across the 6 speed?

It should be less, but only by a few percentage points at most.
