Those would be issues regardless of the number of CIMs, if I'm not mistaken. I always took away that a 6-cim could push harder and accelerate faster. They risk brownouts for the extra current draw.
If you gear your drivetrain down that much, there is little or no purpose I can see to having a 6-cim over a 4-cim.

We had a 6 cim drive base and a fly wheel one year it was always interesting seeing the lights being slightly dimmer when the flywheel was fully rev'd and we were traveling at full speed.
