Well, another reason to buy a "spare" is to use it live for true stereo
processing and looping. That way you can have two completely separate 
channels,
and if you play a multi-voice instrument (ala Stick) then you can 
have Bass/Melody
sides processed individually.  Or just true L/R stereo...

Then if your "main" one ever fails, at least you still can work/play in 
mono
with the "spare" unit.

That said, they're really pretty hardy.  I agree that the pedal units are 
much
more likely to give you trouble.

You can sync them, too, as you probably know.
