You're talking about EV over all hands, not for that one play. For double deck, the difference for a T6 vs. T is 1.8 cents per dollar bet. For single deck, it's twice that, 3.6 cents per dollar bet. For 6-deck, it's only 0.6 cents per dollar bet. See the EVs for every play
here.
For single deck, you're better off standing on hard 16 vs. T if your 16 is made up of 3 or more cards.
For a counter, knowing whether to hit or stand on hard 16 is the most important strategy variation aside from knowing when to insure and surrender.
