I have both a dual and triple axle trailers. The tri-axle is a lot better. The wider support on the frame makes a huge difference, since this is supporting your load. Way less flex and better support. Extra brakes are really nice. Who cares about tire costs when you have all the other benefits. Blow a tire?-you can still go down the road. Extra braking? And I had to do a panic stop, and the 6 brakes saved my ass. Tracks better in high winds, less stress on springs, shackles, tires, smoother ride. The interior also benefits, as the movement is not that severe. Just my experience and not my 2 cents worth.
