But doesn’t the OP say (in the 10 March post below) that the second family found had “a different surname spelling, at a different address, and with different family members”? So I would also say – how do you know it is the same family?

I think this would be an excellent opportunity to enter the second date using the "alternate" heading, as it would show immediately that there is more than one enumeration for that family for that census.

I have even found one family listed in the 1880 census on June 2nd and the page was marked with a stamp, "First enumeration rejected." Later I found the same family on another page dated November 9th with a different surname spelling, at a different address, and with different family members. I think the actual date of the enumeration is essential. The official date is easily available and could be entered in the Master Source "Comments" block. John S.
