They are handy to have as you can load different films in each one and always have a functioning camera if one breaks. Unfortunately, if you just buy one extra body and have to send out one for repair, you feel bereft when you are "struggling" with only one body. It does not have to be expensive as it is not your main camera. R3s seem pretty inexpensive and R7 prices look to dropping as well.
