Two ways to look at this IMHO.
1. If zero shifts between calipers are repeatable and one doesn't consider it a PITA to re-zero the turret knobs every conversion, the familiarity with the platform, ergos, trigger, and scope (plus only having to invest in one scope) could all be big pluses. I want to train with .308 or other SA caliber for a while before unloading some rather expensive .338 LM in the same range trip without bringing an entire arsenal along, an AXMC with the caliber conversion kit (or DTI or MRAD) could be pretty awesome. Of course this is just speculation since I have a 2013 AX308 so I'd need to bring a barrel vise and heavy bench to the range if I wanted to try swapping SA calibers at the range,
2. If I want to share this great pastime with a friend (say, to get them interested) or my wife, or just let another shooter try out my rifle, I'm much better off with separate rifles for each caliber unless I want to just spectate. Also (and I know this is not likely but none the less it could happen) in the event of a scenario in which I had to use my rifle to protect mine/myself, multiple rifles could be far more useful than one switch caliber setup. You know the whole 2 is one and 1 is none rhetoric, and I can't simultaneously cover the front AND the rear with one weapon.
