My only issue with that statement is that I'm not sure that twice as much space on a high density drive is necessarily better than once the space on a lower density drive.

It's not something I've looked at ... does anyone have any useful data on it? There may just be too many imponderables frown
That's why I mentioned TBW. It's possible to have a 2tb and 1tb drive with the same TBW, which is pretty much what you're talking about. In general though, drives with more space have more TBW than comparable drives with less space - for example a WD Blue 1tb has half the TBW of a WD Blue 2tb.
