But, people do put money down on leases and get a better deal when they finance their next car, sometimes even getting lower payments than what they were paying during their lease. Sometimes the risk is worth the reward!

A. Nobody really totals cars until they do. Unless you have special powers you probably shouldn't gamble on that.
B. lower payments =/= less financial burden, you're planning on paying for two cars over the next 6 years, I get the logic you're basically making pre-payments on the first car to buy the second (a second car which there is no guarantee of existing at all) but you won't get many financially conservative people agreeing with you, period.
Ultimately do what makes you happy, most of us view leasing as a way to have a car payment for a very long time and always be driving something to impress the Joneses, most of us would prefer money in the bank and owning the wheels, especially around here with a strong sentiment of 'buy it for life'.
