I think if I do mirror my data I _want_ it to be redundantent (how do you spell that?). I wouldn't want to risk something by gaining a few % of space, rather I'd like to be assured that if a disk dies I can simply replace it and LVM will not even take care about that (hotplug with mdadm) - on the other hand I never looked into mirroring LVM because mdadm is just made for that.
