You gain even more if you use 3 chains because: if you use 1 chain, when it wears off, it wears the cassette much more, then you put second chain, and the new chain gets wear faster because the cassette is already a bit worn, then your cassette and all the chains after the first one lasts much faster. And there are cases when putting new chain on a cassette will wear the cassette to the end because of the difference in wears. | |

I'm a bit confused by the 'real gain' you refer to in the first paragraph. Are you saying that nominal life of cassette = 2 x nominal life of chain? Or that having swapping the chains frequently somehow gets less wear on the cassette? Or something else?
