One Stud or Two?

I've been getting around quite nicely this winter without studded tires, in fact, I've never tried studded tires. However, a few years back when I was commuting often (as I am getting back into once again), I hit a patch of ice and was on the ground before I knew what was happening. In that instance, it was the front wheel that lost traction during a turn so my question is ...

Anyone ride with just the front tire studded? It seems to me that it is a loss of traction on the front--not the back-- that will get you into trouble. True? Or should I just spend the money and get both tires studded.
