For me zooms that rival the quality of my primes are just completely way out of budget (me being cheap doesn't help). Exotic L-series Canons or 70-200 f2.8s are completely unaccessible to me. As for keeping two lenses on two bodies...I can dream.
I don't think there are many with bottomless pits, but we can all dream! I'm fortunate enough to make a bit of money out of photography (and have an understanding wife) so have managed to buy some nice kit. I agree that cheaper zooms can be upsettingly poor, where as cheap primes (like the Canon 50 f1.8) can be stunning.
