This has been an interesting thread. I've looked at this kind of position before to some extent and while I came to similar conclusions, I seem to recall that there were more exceptions to the "keep as many points as possible" rule than the discussion so far has suggested. For example, in the position below I believe it's better to play 6/3 5/off than to keep a closed board with 6/1 4/1.

However, even in the above position, keeping a closed board is close, so I think I should give a little more weight to keeping the maximum number of points than I have in the past.
