I like to have options when it comes time to mix. I also have the luxury of a commercial studio with a well stocked mic locker.

Yep, I typically use 2 pairs, also using an R88 - great choice! I have 3 pairs set up at the moment. Mostly about being able to choose and also blend between them to dial in the tone, kind of an alternative to EQ. It's still pretty simple compared to a band mix. Just blend the mics to taste, add reverb, send to the master bus for a touch of compression.
