I have always heard the notion that proof coins (mind you I deal in what I like to call semi-modern 1930-1971 proof and ms coinage, so that is where my mindset is) that have some nice cameo contrast, but not quite enough to get the designation are "bumped" up a grade for the cameo, what is your postion on this. I have always been explained that yes the cameo can help the overall appearance of the coin itself so it would be justified if done so.

Cameo is definitely part of eye appeal and definitely a positive. A coin which exhibits some cameo, but not enough to be designated cameo...say a one-sided cameo...could get bumped a grade if the eye appeal was very strong.
Cameo coins are very cool...and I never met a person who didn't think they looked great.
