Default One Plane or Several?

Question...When you fly do you normally stay with pretty much one plane all season or do you take two or three to the field and "exercise" each of them.
I can see pros and cons both ways. If you fly one plane a lot you will have a better feel for it and work out the trimming bugs (which can be very tiedious) and become very good with that plane. Or you can do what I do (just can't wait to try "new & better"). I fly somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 flights per season. But I'm lucky to get 40 flights on a single plane. About the time I really get one set up the way I like it I feel the need to change.
Certainly I have my favorites (UCD for me) but I'm always trying new stuff. I have a fun plane, a wind plane, a plane I fly when it's hot, and one for when it's cooler. So far I don't have a different one for dark.
Thanks
Barry
