The 5.0 is good for basic functionality, and since I have only one bike, it's probably the one I'd get if doing it again. I got the 9.0 because the thermometer seemed like a fun toy.
Many computers support multiple computers. The Sigma line actually auto-switches from bike 1 to bike 2 just by moving it between bikes (the mounts for bike 1 and bike 2 are slightly different, so it can tell which bike it's on).
The computers that I've used that support two bikes keep a separate odometer for each bike, plus a total mileage odometer.
I'll have to check that out! I only double my number of bikes 2 weeks ago... haven't noticed that there is a seperate odometer, but then I didn't really look for it.
