Default flying more than one make and model?

What are the most commonly-held views on flying more than one make and
model of aircraft?


There are two commonly held views:

1: don't do it.
2: do it.

I have no trouble switching aircraft, and it makes me more flexible.
But you do have to be a bit more aware fo the differences between them.
I'm in a flying club now that has three cherokees, outfitted almost
identically. I'd rather have different kinds of aircraft for different
missions. IT takes me a bit to get used to the Cessnas again when I fly
out West, but it's no big deal.

When I had just gotten my license, I was a member of a club that had a
Warrior, a 172, a 152, and a Tomahawk. I don't remember any particular
problem switching between them, though they did fly differently (I could
make smoother greasers in the Warrior; the 172 tended to plop sometimes)
