Question will be whether these six units of 10 carriages will see only peak hour or all day use.

Units with more carriages have more capacity and require less units to be constructed. I'd imagine six units of ten cars will be slightly cheaper to build than twelve units of five cars. I personally think that it's better to have the extra capacity now and not have the possibility of having to either order more carriages to extend existing units or have to order more new trains in the future
