If I read you correctly, you say, An SPF compliant domain name SHOULD have
SPF records of both RR types, but MUST at least have one, which can be of
type TXT, right? But, if an SPF compliant host SHOULD have SPF records of
both types, then what is the point of having a new RR type? (other than to
double the record, that is). If the TXT record remains a requirement, then
TXT remains just as "crowded" as before.

The point is that later on when the new RR is widely deployed, then this will
change to:

  MUST have RR
  MAY have TXT
