Yeah, I totally agree with your analysis of Stairway, that's how I think of it as a player(except the min.6 chord). I usually use the the above analysis in my previous post as a way of showing the contrary motion that exists between the bass and melody.
*For some reason, becuase of that D/F# voicing, I never consider that a min.6 chord. If i was playing My Funny Valentine though, it would be another story.
