There are 2 schools of thought on that Tom. I like the 2 equal body version myself. However I don't have that. Some pros I know have the top body as their primary and the next one down as a secondary. Sometimes what comes into play is the fact you might not want to walk around in some locales with your most expensive body. Or you might want one slightly cheaper for other reasons. Or you want your second body to be good but lighter. (F5 and F100. EOS-1v and EOS-3, Maxxum 9 and Maxxum 7). Kent Gittings

On this list and amongst a most of the hobbiests I know, they always want a different body than the one they have. Myself and most pros I have known, on the other hand, want two identical bodies so we don't have to think about which one we are using at the moment. I wonder why that is?
