Out of curiosity, how would the extra controller work staying on 6.x?
One 7205 as master, 2x 7205 as locals under it, attach the APs under the two locals, if any local fails then the APs from it go to the master?

Yep, you would configure 2 AP-groups and then work with 2 different LMS profiles:
1) lms: local 1, bkp-lms: master
2) lms: local 2, bkp-lms: master
This way all AP's would primarily connect to a local controller with backup for both groups being the master controller.
Better yet then the above LMS config would be to configure a high availability group where both locals are active with the master being standsby. With over-subscription configured the master could then handle all STANDBY connections from both locals.
If a failover would occur the master would still be limited to its 256 AP limit so only a single local can have an active failover at the same time.
