Hey man. Since there is more of a chance of your logic on this matter getting lost because it's on the forum. You should either put it on the tricks page, or make your own page so more people will see it. That way you can plan a layout of step by step explaination alittle better. It's so scrambled on this thread that it is hard to comprehend. Put some sound files so they can listen to what your getting at.

(soloing) When playing pentatonics over a chord progression, I find better results when you play a E major pent over an E major chord, and an B major pent over a B major chord. You know what I'm getting at. It gives it a sense that the music is moving not staying in one place. Plus, sometimes tension can arise between notes. So this becomes an easy fix. Use extensions to move from one scale to the next.

Now when playing a little lick in a pentatonic. Better results are achieved when staying in the Tonic's pentatonic over a chord progression.

The situation will dictate what to do. Use your inner ear.

As you said, the 6/9 chord is the broken major pentatonic. The m11 chord is the minor pentatonic. Reverse your process and see what you can come up with. ;)
