You do get a bigger flame that way.
As has been said before: they've already killed him once; to do it again would make it feel cheaper, somehow. I'm kind of favoring leaving his fate open, either allowing him to "ride off into the sunset", headed for parts unknown, or to have Spock simply leave the story, his part in it played, and not show or state exactly what happens to him from there.
How about instead of old Spock dying, young Spock dies!
A passing of the torch doesn't mean one has to set the torch bearer on fire.
Well, from the pictures I've seen of him so far, he looks pretty much like a corpse anyhow...
Must be the makeup.
Or would you have him live for ever and ever and ever ?
Why do we need him to die? We've seen him die once. A great death. An unbeatable death. Anything they do in this movie would be a retread and probably not a good one.
I think Spock riding off into the sunset at the end by going back to the future ala the ending of First Contact while leaving us behind with the new cast would be the best exit for Spock.

Yes, that's what I was referring to. Nimoy doesn't look that bad in real life but the pics I've seen of Spock make him look about 200 years old.
Yup. Shatner does as well. Hell, you look at Shater and he looks like other people look in their late fifties, early sixties. No way would I put him at 78 if I didn't already know.^^ Nimoy looks great for his age! Thank god he's not moving around with a walker or wheelchair.
I'm happy to look like that when I'm 80. Although, I think I'd shave off the stubble and do something about the thickness of the eyebrows.Or would you have him live for ever and ever and ever ?

I don't need him to die.
I just wouldn't find a final, irreversible, heroic death to be a bad idea at all.
Your idea of sunset riding Spock could work just as well.
I'm flexible.

True the Spock make-up does make him look really really old, but imo he doesn't look too good in real life either

I think Nimoy in an interview said if they asked him to return for any future movies, he would be receptive to it. So maybe he just goes back in time.
