Dual BIOS -- Update both?

Thoughts/opinions -- After updating the primary BIOS and confirming
everything works, should I update both BIOSes, or leave the backup.

Too bad there isn't a BIOS-to-BIOS copy feature. Ahh well.

So far I've been backing up the main one to floppy, restoring it to the
second, then booting from the second one (to test) and loading the main.

I'm leaning towards keeping them both at the same revision just to
reduce hassle.
