[CQ-Contest] Unique WPX callsigns worth it ?

[ktfrog007 at aol.com]

 Before I was serious about contesting I would operate in the CQ-WPX CW/SSB just to work new prefixes for my WPX award. Lots of times that would constitute my entire contest effort.

 What are people thoughts on using a totally unique prefix in the 2 x CQWPX
contests? 

 

Do you feel it increases your score any appreciable amount ? 5%? 10%

 

Not being assisted very much I have very limited experience "clicking on
spots" but I can at least imagine a scenario whereby S&Pers are only
clicking on Mults and not also regular Q's who would not have a unique
prefix...but how much, I have no idea.

 

Thoughts?
