Metamagic seems difficult to use in E6, and I don't have any good ideas for fixing it. Maybe E6 is just a world where Still Spell and Energy Substitution (and other +0/+1 metamagics) are the cool ones that everyone uses.
Actually there is a feat from Dragon Magazine #325 p62, Easy Metamagic. "Choose a Metamagic feat you know with at least a +2 Level Adjustment. When preparing or casting spells with this feat, treat the Level Adjustment as being one lower than it actually is (min +1). For example, Easy Metamagic could reduce Maximize Spell from +3 to +2. You may take this feat multiple times. Each time it applies to a new Metamagic Feat."
Also the Sudden Metamagic feats allow once per day casting of a metamagicked spell without a level increase. Taking Maximize Spell, Easy Metamagic (Maximize) and Sudden Maximize spell allows a caster to cast Maximized 0th and 1st level spells and once per day a 2nd or 3rd. Combine the feats with Arcane Thesis and one 2nd level spell can be maximized for a +1 level adjustment. Pretty cool way to distinguish one's wizard from the rest.
