New to kegging and have a dual tap kegerator and 2 kegs. Is it worth it to buy 2 more kegs as extra?

Ordering 2 today. Won't be able to carb extras but can age and just switch kegs when one is empty. Thanks

Where is a good place to watch for good deals on corny kegs? I see them on Amazon for $60ish.
About the best deal I've found for kegs is Adventures in Homebrewing. Here's a link

I keep one full with starsan and the other one can be filled/carbed and swapped in as needed. Having at least 1 extra keg full of starsan makes line cleaning so much easier and to me is worth it just for the time factor.
haven't gotten into kegging...yet....but that advice works well for fermenters as well, especially when dealing with meads, my beverage of choice as of late....never enough fermenters (good thing we have a large basement or my wife would have cow)I don't think any sane homebrewer has ever said 'boy, I wish I didn't have so many corny kegs'.
I think the rule of thumb is to buy as many as you think you need, double that, then get a couple more just in case.
I don't understand the part about having a keg full of StarSan. I know what starsan is, and I use it, but why store 5gals of it? Is it cheaper to buy 5gals of it at a time? Do you need 5gals of it available at a time when you sanitize?
