Taris,
A sextuplet may also be broken down into 3 groups of 2, thus giving a slight rhythmical stress on every alternate note, whereas the triplet......would be as you explained.
Keep the sextuplet beamed evenly across all six notes, but the double triplet may have a broken secondary beam which certainly makes it easier to read, rhythmically speaking! TG Tools performs a wonderful job on breaking down secondary beams into 2 groups of 3 (or many other combinations) and is a real time saver especially if you have a score full of them!

What's the difference in notating a group of six notes as a sextuplet versus as two triplets? I would assume that the sextuplet would imply a feeling of the six notes being one unit, whereas the triplet would imply two groups of three.
