Actually, Spike would be trespassing on Angel's specialness by becoming human also (unless we're talking doppleganger Rocco who isn't really Spike). Angel's big dream is to become human again. Wasn't he sort of promised that as a reward by the PTB at some given point in time if he keeps up with the epic hero stuff? Wouldn't it be kinda mean to make Angel work for another hundred years to become human, and then do it for Spike after only a few tests in a couple of episodes? . . . Unless you think of it as a punishment for Spike. Still, Angel would probably feel he was being cheated.

The hybrid theory would allow Spike to be more like Buffy and be different from Angel on all counts.
