Ditto. The first copy of a set always gets built just to see how it goes
together. Multiple sets only get built if there is a reason (several
X-Wings and Snowspeeders are currently assembled as a small fleet).
Otherwise, multiples are strictly for parts.
Also, for me, an original rarely stays together. Currently, I have a few
Pirate/Armada sets together, some Star Wars, and the McDonald's promo set.
That's it. Everything else is fodder.
