I have a sticker on the rack of my touring bike that reads "my other bike is a carbon fiber road bike"
Some people just call them bikes, others call anything but their primary road bike for ideal roadie style riding a winter bike.
Back on topic, having multiple wheels sets makes perfect sense. Many people do the same, you can even use different cassettes if needed.
