I'm thinking from a safety standpoint as long as you interupt the circuit you accomplish the goal.
From a normal connect/disconnect battery standpoint, you generally disconnect ground first rather than hotside (sparks less as I recall) so puting the cutout in the ground makes sense to me (although I can be corrected).
I'm thinking that my math says battery power (watts) is amps X volts and if you're rated 12v at 500 amps the equivalent need in 6 volts = 1000 amps (not 250). Which is why we need bigger cables/connectors on 6v equipment compared to 12v.
Which lead to my initial discussion on finding 6v switches... would expect that they need larger "components" to handle the higher amps they need to carry compared to similar 12v usages (And I think that's what John T said above).
Lots of good discussion and I appreciate everyone's feedback.
