Yeah, it'd be fun to run more benchmarks, but the beefy box, for some reason, is a prod box busy 24/7. no time to nuke it and fidgit :)
If you've got an existing array and you want to switch to another controller, that may not work without nuking no matter what. One other reason to consider software RAID on top of a hardware controller running JBOD mode is that there's no standard for how striping/mirroring is done, so you can't just move a set of RAID disks to another brand of controller normally. That's no problem with software RAID.
