I would say go ahead and get the + and find a pouch, pocket or belt.
I use mine at the gym all the time. Plus like I said I had a Note 2 with an extended battery for awhile too. I'm no stranger to large phones at the gym. So I understand the size consideration. And large phones are common place anymore. I see alot of Lg G3's , Galaxy Notes, Xperia Z, I can go on. Most people just pocket them and go the bluetooth route like I do. So the idea doesn't need any consideration as the iphone 6 plus is just joining the large phones at gym club. And why would you put the armband on your forearm? I'd put it on my upper arm if I used one. Seems to make more sense and it's out of the way.
