I'd accept the first and second added points post-creation are 100 XP and the 6th added point is 1600 XP with the following racial exceptions:

Gargoyles never pay less than 500 XP to raise an IQ point and never pay more than 1000 XP to raise a ST point.

Giants never pay less than 500 XP to raise an IQ or DX point and never pay more than 500 XP to raise a ST point.
Yes, I'd charge more for stat-limited races where increases are supposed to be exceptional. It makes sense from perspectives of self-consistency, relative effect, interesting choices and balance.

That's an interesting idea, that I'll have to sleep on.
