Switch barrel vs multiple rifles

[Krumfola]

I'd like to get everyone's input on how practical it is to have a switch barrel rifle versus multiple rifles. My current go-to set up is a 6GT on an atlas tactical, EH1, and a NF. I'm trying to decide if I should add a 6.5cm prefit or even pick up a magnum bolt and prefit in either 6.5 PRC, 7SAUM, 7SS, etc. or if it would make more sense just to put together another rifle.

I've already got an extra scope, stock, bottom metal, and trigger so I'm either looking at picking up a magnum bolt or just buying another action altogether to complete the build. Cost really isn't a concern here. In my mind, one action with multiple prefits sounds like the way to go but I've also heard of people taking this route and ending up with a bunch of extra barrels because they just don't swap them as much as they thought they would.

For those that have switch barrel set-ups, do you find yourself swapping barrels regularly or just grabbing a separate rifle and heading to the range to avoid having to swap it, re-zero, etc.?

With the new quick change barrel setups of the Seekins PH3 (similar to the hit that's been out for awhile), I've been having similar thoughts. It seems like a good way to practice with a low recoil round but the couple times you want to hunt with a larger caliber, there is that option. To me the most expensive part of my setups are the scope, so a barrel change seems like a huge cost savings over two rifles and two scopes.
