Full Ring vs. 6 Max from a skills development perspective? (No hand)

[Disconnected]

Sorry if this has been asked and answered already, but a search didn't turn up anything. All that I've read contrasting full to 6 max has been in the context of someone moving from full to 6 max, and the differential skills required for/developed in a 6 max game.

With the advent of 6 max on Party at .5/1 though, probably a lot of people will go there instead of full ring. From a long term skills development perspective, how important is full ring play at the micros? Especially where on a 6-max table, there seems to be 4-6 people to many flops?

I'm not really talking about which is more profitable, comfortable, etc., more about playing skills. Thanks.
