You don't have to do that anymore, the new application form's first question is a check box asking if you want the 28 page book or the 52 page book.

If there's even a remote chance of having to add pages in the next 9 1/2 years it doesn't make sense not to get the 52 pager, as there's no charge for the extra pages up front, but is should you go to add them later.

My theory on the six month thing.

There is no risk if you renew it before the six months. There is some risk if you don't, as seen time and time again here when somebody is denied boarding (rightfully or wrongfully) because of it. Assuming you have a 10 year passport, and paid $110 for it, you lose about $6.55 (six dollars and fifty five cents) in the value of it by renewing early. To me it's totally worth not risking being turned away at the counter because some airline doesn't understand the regulations.
