I take the "Two is one, and one is none" mindset on it. I don't think most people need to have 2 on every floor like I do, but I still would be very concerned about having any sort of shop and it not having its own dedicated extinguisher. I've got the little 2.5lb guys in the house, but I want a 10lb'er anywhere with fuel sources. They're so cheap and take up so little space, I really don't get why you wouldn't want more than one.
I've never really had anything more than some brake cleaner residue catch fire or a flare up in the kitchen, but it's just such a cheap form of insurance that I'd rather have "too many" than too few.
