Default Can you really get away with one kite quiver ???

With these new Bow kites coming out I keep seeing wider wind ranges, the other day I saw Peter staying upwind with his 11m while myself, Dave and Shuman were all on bigger kites (14-16m). Shuman, how long have you had your CB16 as one quiver kite ?? and how many days do you think you have missed because you wished you had a smaller kite ?? Now the second generation of Bow seems to be able to produce the same power with smaller kites (Contra14 feels like CB16, the Rebel12 is claimed as one kite quiver and the Halo10 has a huge range). We all used to have more than one kite because of their narrow wind ranges and don't forget the even narrower sweet spot that in few kites could even be 2-3k range. 2 or 3 kites quiver was normal and maybe a fourth kite for those super windy days.

Now that I see all these new Bow coming out I'm asking myself if, for the conditions that we get here all year round, can we really get away with a one kite quiver ??

What do you guys think ??
