I have four. Three trilams and a CF200. I have the 350 and the 200 for choice and the first two trilams because I was cheap and stupid and got educated

For my own personal use, 6.
2 Unisuits (warm), 2 Vikings (tough & secure) (one dedicated for drinking water applications) These have neck yokes for mating direct to helmet.
1 Viking Xtreme for scuba (attached hood)
1 canvass "Bunny Suit" for the vintage diving parties.
Dang, I could probably use a few more....

jonscubas:
I own one...Can't see why folks might have more than one, unless they bought the first one before they thought about which drysuit they might "really" want.
2 custom DUI TLS 350s. One is 7 years old, the other a year old. I got tiredofnot having a suit for the 2 weeks a year its in fornew seals and such, plus the old one is,well, old and well used. It's now the backup.
scubasean:
Requirements change, diving styles change. There are many reasons for having more than one suit.
I have two BTW.

I have three. A DUI CLX-450 custom, and a ANDY's DS2 which fits me like a custom suit, and an ATLAN neoprene sport. The DUI is my primary suit, with the Andy's as a backup. The Atlan I got just because I wanted to try a neoprene drysuit for teaching. I am already planning on getting a fourth suit...
Three... all with P-valves. 
Two Andy's Trilams and one CF200.
I could get by with just the two Andy's... but I wouldn't want to only have one suit for the same reason Chickdiver mentioned.
On second thought... I like having the CF200 too... for the man-eating barnacle dives.
BTW: Bob... do you have a P-valve on that Viking? wink

LUBOLD8431:
Why would you want a neo suit for classes? I would think that would be a PITA for that if you already had tri-lams.
