I'm currently using LAGs like that to connect to my servers and other stacks with 6224s and 6248s.
It is a great feature which is one of the main reasons I purchased these switches. Once you stack two of these switches they function as one unit. The only bad thing I have heard is that if the master switch fails it can take a minute or two for the stack to come back up.
Here is a sample dump from my running config of a LAG:
interface port-channel 5 description 'To ****** 6248 stack' switchport mode general no switchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-only switchport general allowed vlan add 2 tagged switchport general allowed vlan add 1 tagged
interface ethernet 1/g22 channel-group 5 mode auto switchport mode general no switchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-only switchport general allowed vlan add 2 tagged switchport general allowed vlan add 1 tagged
interface ethernet 2/g22 channel-group 5 mode auto switchport mode general no switchport general acceptable-frame-type tagged-only switchport general allowed vlan add 2 tagged switchport general allowed vlan add 1 tagged
