Credit to Haniyasuko Okina (埴安狐隱岐奈) for doing this route change in his runs.
The result without taking Clear Bonus into account is 13,727,530 for the opener suicide 13,956,470 for the final pattern suicide.When also taking away the two extra items from the final pattern suicide route, assume 20k for each item reduced from the score = 13,916,470. There's also one bullet extra in the final cancel (16k cancel bonus), so that puts the final suicide route to about 170k gain, give or take.
The downside to doing this however is that you have to put more effort into grazing to 999 for this better route to profit from it. I think if you end up getting 979 graze or less, you will have lost 170k or more score from losing that 20 or more graze (Direct score = 20g x 5,000 = 100,000) + (Clear Bonus = [(20g x 50) x 50 items) x 1.4] = 70,000).
