Apart from saying that was a Hero Point spend you are right. In an extended contest the small augments individually don't make much of a difference.
The only way I could see that the "Augment" could make a significant difference involves bending the rules a bit. So use a simple contest and if the results are not what you wanted use what was the Augment as the excuse for having a second simple contest. In other words have a chain of simple contests as long as the players can keep brings something new to the contest.

"But I am right handed as well"
"You killed my father"
"No one expects the Inquisition"
"I swing from the chandeliers"

Etc.
