Should I own more than one scope, why do you'll have so many?

I was in a bit of a quandary the last couple of days. Currently i have a 6" dob (my first scope purchased only 3 mths ago which i love to pieces). A few days ago I came across a really great offer to buy a 10" dob for $400 (used of course), and very close to home. My 6" is already set up and ready to go near the front door, the 10" i figured would be for special times as i don't think i can regularly handle an instrument weighing in at ...let's just say i'm built like a feather. Hub & I debated and argued on said topic. He said you only ever need one scope, i said most people here have got several, there must be good reason for it. Anyway, he won, scope not bought . He said that getting another dob would be stepping sideways to wait and get something better one day, but still only have the one scope. Is this true? Is it worth having both a 6" and 10" dob? And now please be gentle on me... I am new you know- so why is it so many of you'll have so many scopes, i'm truly interested, not having a dig in any way, seriously. I had trouble just getting 2!
