Discussions w/wives are always dangerous territory (based on observation. not direct experience). If you're feeling lucky ask her how many pairs of shoes she has Be prepared to duck!
I personally try to focus on acquisitions that I'll be shooting or the occasional "spare" in case the primary is rendered inoperative or unavailable for an extended period of time. I also have spare parts for the more serious firearms, but the best spare is another complete unit.
However, I also understand the urge to collect. In that vein it's worth considering pursuing a theme as opposed to just an unfocused grab bag of what's simply available.
The really serious collectors have rooms of gun safes or a walk-in vault.
