So the quick answer is no, unfortunately you'll gain no quality from using a lower MP setting. The reason to choose a lower size is to gain a lower filesize if you aren't going to be blowing it up past a certain printed size. Other than his first line I completely agree with Zweiblumen's statements.
Hope this helps.

You have confused me further. It sounds like your first paragraph says that there should be more accuracy and less distortion dropping to 6MP, then paragraph two says "And therefore it doesn't work".
