I'm not sure your argument is really valid.. NAT is "security through 
obscurity" which translates to "zero additional security" also known as "false 
security" 

IPv6 behind a stateful firewall is just as secure - some folks would argue it's 
more secure but that argument would take several paragraphs to get into ;)

Yeah, but the great thing about NAT is that my network isn't public.

That is my primary argument with IPv6.
