Multi-story buildings - story height

I've been wondering: what is a good story height for multi-story buildings?  I
just bought two two-story sets - Fort Legoredo (6769) and a Train Station
(4556), and interestingly enough, have differing story heights.  Fort
Legoredo's is 6 1/3 - log wall panel (6 bricks) and 1 plate (the floor of the
second story - and the Train Station's is 7 1/3 -7 bricks and 1 plate.  I'm
including the floor of the second story because what I'm interested in is the
total height of a single story.  I'm using the second-story floor rather than
the first-story's because I don't really care whether the first-story floor is
a brick, a plate, a baseplate, or whatever.

For any of you who keep track, let me know if LEGO has used other story
heights.  Please also let me know what you all use in you multi-story MOC's,
and what affect, if any, interior details have on this decision.

TIA!

(...) What Will said is true; I think TLC mostly uses a 6-brick + floor- plate "standard" unless the height is used for other effects. (...) My (currently) largest MOC, the Bloodstone Inn, is of slightly varying design with stories. The first story (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)

(...) For office buildings I use 7-10 bricks per floor. Real office buildings are a minimum of 9ft + 3 t = 12 feet per floor which is about 8 bricks. Residential dwellings are shorter of course. KL (24 years ago, 20-Jun-00, to lugnet.build)
