Well, I must be annal :) cuz I charted out the different costs for the
current rules for increasing attributes, using a x2 cost multiplier, going
the incremental route but with no additional modifier for above racial max,
and incremental with an additional x2 above racial max. The short of it
is (assuming a Human character):

Rules as is: 1 to 9 = total of 68
6 to 9 = total of 48
x2: 1 to 9 = 136
6 to 9 = 96
Incremental, no x2 >racial: 1 to 9 = 240
6 to 9 = 50
Incremental, x2 >racial: 1 to 9 = 410
6 to 9 = 100

The short of it is, IMHO, with the rules as is its way to cheap to increase
attributes. Requiring and additional x2ZZ
