Multitools - How many is too many?

Hi All,

I'm trying to hone my touring minimalism and essentials down to a fine count here. I'm wondering what thoughts are on multitools! I have an awesome Performance Bike multitool from back in the day with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8mm hexes, flat and Phillips head screwdrivers. That's it. I carry spoons (tire levers) with me separate. I'm looking to do longer rides and include more tours in my future and I'm wondering how do you all deal with:
1- Spoke wrenches (in the tool or separate)
2- Chain breakers (separate (full size or mini), or in the tool)
3- large hex wrenches
4- Anything else?

Your thoughts and comments are appreciated!
Best,
Red
