I think it's an important distinction here...If you design a mechanism based on an assumption, you may end up finding out later that you didn't need 6 motors, and could have saved time, weight, and effort by just using 4, for example.

It's my personal opinion that 6 motor drives have a very small niche, and are almost never a better choice than 4 motors. The only reason I would ever use 6 motors is if I was making a single speed drivetrain and wanted to keep my speed high, while still having some torque (and I probably wouldn't, even then).
