If your IOPS are that high, rather than over-complicating the environment, why not just get a few SSDs? They are fairly inexpensive in comparison to performance problems, or worse extended outages due to troubleshooting a one off configuration.

Pushing past eight disks just in the interests of more IOPS on this hardware is already complicating things more than just buying some SSDs.
How specific is the need and number of IOPS, or is it just "I want more" ?
You do have the 2GB FBWC right?
