I think that is the key point. The donut spare is really no better then a run flat with the added negative that you need to jack the car up and put it on.
I think the real problem is like the other poster said. Being stuck somewhere without the tire in stock. I think the best bet is a dealer which will likely stock them, but at high dollar dealer prices..
The problem comes with replacing the tires you need to go with run flats again which add cost or not go with run flats and then run the risk of being stuck without a spare...
