Just something else to consider on that topic - a single stream can move data 
pretty quickly if you are using async IO, and backing up to disk instead of 
tape, either via regular disk backup, e.g. to your flash recovery area, or 
through sbt_tape to a disk staging unit used by your Media Management software 
(e.g. Netbackup) before it actually writes to tape.

If you must have RAC, then also consider Oracle RAC Standard Edition (as 
opposed to Enterprise).
. . .
Just make sure you can live without the certain features it omits-  for large 
databases just the fact that RMAN is limited to a single stream can be a 
deal-breaker.
