MC vs EMT

Like I said there are 10 ways to do this. You've made some assumptions like that they'll be using heavy 2000' reels of wire instead of 500' reels. With a single raceway you certainly wouldn't have to pull in all 6 circuits at one time.

For us on commercial jobs #10 stranded homeruns in 1" or 1.25" EMT are pretty much standard.

Yep...we never bought spools less than 2500' for 10 and smaller and almost never made more than a single pull through a conduit.

I always wondered why it’s not actually mandatory for most jobs to save on vd and wire to meet the energy efficiency they always spout about

Was it the handle ties that phased it out or those dumb afci breakers. Atleast those killed it in resi.

After the handle tie rule became code, most designers started to prohibit muliwire circuits because you had to turn off all of the hots to work on one of them.
