I thought I should throw my 2 cents' worth in (or whatever currency is 
handy):

How about an OPTIONAL use of the 6-digit grid square, with extra point 
scoring somehow for copying the full 6 digits? The normal exchange should 
be the 4-digit square. Maybe there should be a bonus for KNOWING your 
6-digit square?   :-)
