I answered a similar question in more detail a while ago in other threads, and can try to direct you to them when I have time at a real computer. Short summary: I got a Susie thinking it would be a replacement for my clem Clem H, assuming it would be similar with a few minor improvements. In fact, I find them to be very different bikes, and regret getting rid of the Clem on a daily basis. Most significant difference to me was bottom bracket height. But, even if they rode more similar, you could set them up differently and justify both: one as a fenderless knobby tired stripped-down trail bike; the other as a racked, basketed and smooth-tired town bike.
Not a good place to ask for advice if you want FEWER bikes.
