Why Would a Turntable Need More than 1 Arm ?

Sunday afternoon, just browsing the $5k and up turntables...why would a TT need more than 1 arm ? To try different cartridges ?

Do you think I could hear the diff between a $10k TT and my PF1000, same cart and stylus ?

How about two turntables with two/three arms each?

Is there any trade-off to doing it this way? Is the result the same? Thanks, bird
