The average rake paid in dollars/100 is within a few dollars for all stakes between $400 and $1000 (
http://www.pokertableratings.com/blo...heads-up-rake/). That leads me to believe that a lot of the rake paid at $400, and even more so at $600, is coming from pots that hit the rake cap. If they weren't frequently hitting the rake cap then you'd expect the rake at $1000, where practically every pot hits the rake cap, to have a substantially higher rake.
Assuming that is correct, this will result in a very substantial rake increase. The rake in bb/100 for $600NL according to PTR is 2.4bb/100. If the vast majority of the rake is indeed coming from max raked pots that means the rake will increase by some figure close to the maximum 66% increase or 1.6bb/100.
As for the change to weighted contributed... Based on my experiences when Full Tilt changed over if you're a looser than average winning player (25% in my case) then chop off somewhere around 10-20% from your rakeback. If you're tighter then chop off up to around 50%. You will not benefit from weighted contributed if you are a winning player. Something all FTP players learned rather quickly. I was one of the guys cheering the change on due its 'fairness' and presumably positive impact on the games. Nuh uh. If you're a winning player you're going to lose money due to this. And at least at Full Tilt the game quality didn't change one bit.
