It feels like the omiyage multiplier is higher on Secret Spots than it admits to.
I played an Expert song on 4x this morning at a Secret Spot that had NO bonus to omiyage
-- just a 65% LP cost and doubled Event Points.  It gave me nearly 200 of each
omiyage.  I think I usually get around 70 or 80 *total* items from an EX song, and
that was 800 at only 4x.  That is close to what I would expect if it were also giving
extra items for the other boosts -- double for the doubled Event Points and
multiplied by (1/0.65) for the LP reduction.  That's probably not what it is doing,
but I'm definitely getting more than expected from Secret Spots.
