ReefArtist,
You are right, notching the 4X6 using the right tools would be stronger then trying to attach a bunch of pieces together. Putting the facing like Token depicted would prevent things from going out fo square. As you plan on using six legs, I don't feel that 4X6s would be required especially in the middle. I would place the a 4X6 in each corner, using the notches to place it fully under each corner of the top frame, then put a notched 4X4 in the middle of each side.
Other then that, it looks like the design is coming together nicely
