Has there been any studies done on IPv6 as an alternative to NAT?
Besides IPSec, dynamic addressing, authentication and improved security, are there other benefits to deploying IPv6 instead of NAT?

NAT is more than just a means to ease IP address space use. The use of a dynamic NAT pool allows the hiding of internal IP topology, thereby increasing security.
for people that use nat to increase the number of machines that can access network services, ipv6 can do that too, but without nat. for people who want to use nat to increase their security, ipv6 can do that too. or maybe some people just really like using nat? -- |-----< "CODE WARRIOR" >-----| codewarrior@daemon.org * "ah! i see you have the internet twofsonet@graffiti.com (Andrew Brown) that goes *ping*!" andrew@crossbar.com * "information is power -- share the wealth."
