The issue with that is going to a store or online and saying you want 6.54 kcmil (#12 AWG) wire. You're not likely going to find it and they're going to look at you with an odd look. If you get larger wire (250kcmil) they're easier to find in the kcmil or mm measurements.
We Americans are stubborn.
