What you are saying seems to make sense actually. I wonder how much a RAID6 with a few spares would make sense. If we are talking a large number of disks then RAID 6 + 2 spares means overpaying only for 5 disks. Not a lot if the total number of them is, say, 20.
except, you don't want more than about 12 disks max in a single raid5/6 group, or the performance penalties become enormous and the rebuild times become astronomical.
