I think this is a good approach.

To compare with the IPv4 history, many of the early allocations in IPv4 
were the old Class A prefixes.  Each Class-A prefix consumed 0.391% of the 
total IPv4 address space.

To compare with the new IPv6 registry proposal, each IPv6 /32 prefix 
consumes 0.000000186% of the total IPv6 address space.     This is roughly 
equivalent to the amount of address space used by a /29 prefix allocation 
in the IPv4 space.
