I use one most of the time (95 %), and many others when the customer requires them, but that is very rare.

Surely one is sufficient!
I have Trados. I use it and am frequently asked by customers to do so.
I bought Deja Vu because I was told it was better. I never used it, because I was already familiar with Trados, the learning curve was too steep and I was never asked to use it by any customers.
So I'm sticking with one. You can gain a huge amount of productivity by buying one system. The advantages of a second system are, to me at least, dubious!

I own 10 and very regularly use 5, depending on the client.
I must say Trados (both 2007 and 2009) is the most frequent one, but I also use the others for huge volumes (last done : 70000 words)

It depends if you count dictionaries on your hard disk, or include both TM and MT SWs.
Personally I hate everything about Trados - the smug company ethic ("we are the industry standard, the best"), the plethora of features (mainly useless from my viewpoint), the fact that so many agencies demand it, the excessive (in my opinion) cost...

I would be interested to hear why having more than one tool is worth the investment .
