Hi
I totally miss your logic. "More cards to go wrong" - What has the quantity to do with "more" to go wrong. Are you saying smaller GB cards fail more often? If you have one big card and it fails you it is a 100% loss, if one card fails you out of 10 it is a 10% loss.
And what is so hazardous about changing cards? As far as keeping track of 5 or 10 cards , are you managerial skills so poor that you find it difficult ?
I mark my ten 4GB cards each with a number and I count down as they get used and before I put a new one in the camera I write lock the old one.
In finance there is a saying "Never put all your eggs in one basket", the equivalent in digital photography would be: "Never put all your images in one big card"
In Vietnam recently I had a card confiscated by an overzealous guard, he made me remove it from my camera. I offered to erase the card but he wouldn't have a bar of it. (Maybe he knew you can unerase).
So for me it is lots of small cards anytime, and if one big card works for you, that's fine. (Until disaster strikes)
Greetings
