Tom it still points back to being able to backup a level 0 once a month and do just incrementals the rest of the time(like once a week). for our case 3 terabyte DW, we expect long down time at end of month but relatively short down times every other weekend since we do incrementals.
my 2 cents worth.

Dennis,
I don't see why Oracle even provides this type of backup (database in mount-only mode using Rman). To me, if I was considering this, I would just shut the database down and perform a cold backup. Using Rman in this situation is a waste of time (unless someone can give me a good reason why it is useful).
Rman's biggest strength is point in time recovery, and that the db is up and available all the time.
Anything else just seems like a waste to me - no practicality to it.

Joe - Good point. I usually don't even consider offline RMAN backups. But for a really large database, that might be useful.
