You probably should add a few extra bits for subnetting behind the 6rd CPE. 
Delegating one /64 would be annoying as more and more CPEs have separate 
home/office/guest networks. Giving a /56 to each customer would be good and 
would only take an IPv6 /34 to map from 100.64.0.0/10. That is a quarter of the 
smallest IPv6 allocation an ISP can get.

ISPs can get plenty of IPv6 address space these days if they need it. Smaller 
ISPs don't need to map the whole 100.64.0.0/10, they could just start with 
100.64.0.0/16 for example, which would only take a /40 to give every customer a 
/56. More blocks can always be added to the 6rd setup later.

Cheers,
Sander
