I generally keep two bows set up, ready to shoot.  For traveling, it's not much more difficult to take a second takedown bow than it is to take a second set of limbs.

I have a lynx with three sets of limbs... And like others stated above, I found I would rarely change limbs.  

My solution.... I bought a second riser.   ;)   Now I have two set ups that feel nearly identical, (and a third set of limbs I never use).

I agree with Cacciatore.  I have a Tall Tines with two sets of limbs.  54@28 and 51@28.  I also have another Tall Tines that is 55@28.  Unles something happens to one set of limbs, I do not foresee using the 54# set except as a backup when on a special hunt.

I have a Doug Knight w/2 sets.  How I got the second set is by driving over and ruining one limb.  Sent them off to Doug and got another set as a backup.  

They are over 75# so not much of a market for them.

I found out years ago for me that I never put the second set of limbs on,,, too much work I guess but would just leave the favorite set on..  I rather have two different weight bows I guess.

for the hunter who fly's a lot then hunts different species at the same time I can see the point though.

Bezaleel cougar with three limbsets.
1. recurve limbs
2. longbow limbs
2. new recurve limbs design

they are interchangeable and I change them as I feel like.
Trying to get the bow a part of me!

I have several t/d curves with 2nd set of limbs...  All are about 10# apart from each other...  Depending on what bow I'm shooting when the weather gets cold late in the season I usually switch to the lighter set...  Setups are the same GPP so the trajectory is the same for a given distance...  Makes switching easy...
