Hi Brian,
I don't know if it was due to your phrasing but your explanation looks strange to me.

Having to restore just 1 level-1 backup after 1 level-0 backup is guaranteed with cumulative incremental backups, available with 9i.

I have never used IUB yet, but when you want to restore, you don't have to restore any level-0 backup according to the doco, only one level-1 backup.
I don't think IUB is a great thing because of the disk space needed. And if the database is not that huge, why bothering with incremental stuff?
