Answering on the practical side (easily swapping handlebars) rather than the “should I own two bikes” side of things, Russ from Path Less Pedaled did a video a while back on optimizing 1 bike for easy cockpit swaps. Basically using a little Jagwire cable splitting doodad so the cables and housing can mostly stay in place when swapping bars. It makes more sense if your bike has full-length housing, but there may still be some nuggets in there that are helpful.
