That's not exactly true.  I use both drives in my changer simply by 
running two configs simultaneously.  To some extent, it's just an added 
level of parallelization.  When I had only one drive and was using 
'runtapes=2', the backups sometimes ran well into the day.  With two 
drives, two configs, and runtapes=1, they're always done in the early AM.

As to the original question, I've got ~4.8TB of used space over 4 servers 
(out of ~5.2GB formatted space), and back it up using a 2 drive, 19 slot 
AIT3 changer.  With a new 6TB server arriving Monday, I'm looking hard at 
LTO3 changers...
