As I get older, and watching more and more riding places closing, I can see myself with only 1 bike one trials bike day, and I currently have 3 dirt bikes to flip between, a 280Pro and 300EC and 640KTM.
I find it takes a little adjustment time to jump from one bike to the bigger ones, but its so cool to be able to transfer what is learned on the trials bike to the other bikes. (much easier going from trials to 300, than trials to 640!) Occasionally the seat height or steering lock on the enduro bikes will catch me out trying to pull off something that is so easy on the trials bike, (like a floater turn or large log) but when you go back to the trials bike, its like you are riding a bicycle with a motor, with a much lower seat. Its nice to be able to stand the bike up on an obsticle at a 45degree angle and still be able to get a foot down. You won't regret getting one. I've ridden for 35+ yrs and have learned stuff in the past year that I would never had attempted before.
