Bingo!
Actually I have 400 series so I do another layer

Code:
{series[0]}-series/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} {title}_{id}_{authors}
the first part creates a folder for the first letter.
A-series/
then there is the series name folder
Anyseries/
Inside is the books with the series index at the beginning, leading 0 padded where needed.
Last is the author

For NON series, I use a different mask.
Code:
00NoSeries/{author_sort[0]}_authors/{authors}/{title}_{id}-{authors}
This puts the tree in a folder called:
00NoSeries/
Authors are now more relevant in finding titles, so
U_authors/Unknown

title (the last Authors is just me being redundant)

{ID} is only useful to help identify a 'duplicate' that appears on your reader and is worthless if you use 2 or more Calibre libraries.
