By using the A6th side of the E9th tuning (pedals-down), I have found most of the stuff that you would find on a C6/B6 neck anyhow....on a 10-string tuning. Just eliminate that D string as you would on any E9/B6 setup...pull the B to D on a KL, again, as you would in the standard Uni setup. And the "grips" are basically standard E9th-tuning-type "grips".
I played a 12-string E9/B6 since 1985, but have opted for the scaled-down 10-string setup in recent years because I can "get more stuff" out of it.
