The only justifications I've ever been able to come up with for having multiple bodies are a) backup in the field against the event of failure and b) to have multiple emulsions available simultaneously (B&W, Color neg and slide, different speeds). Backup is still important, there is no need on the second count. So you need two bodies, maybe three if you're the kind of person who breaks things a lot.
Different bodies have different characteristics which lend themselves to certain situations.
I have three 35mm bodies: the Z-1p for AF, the LX for its light weight and quietness, and the K2 for everything else.
And a 6x7 for taking good pictures <g>. - Dave
