How many of you keep more than one copy of a crew member?

Just curious. I only have one duplicate, Mirror Picard.

Don't care for collecting dupes even though I know I'd do "better" with them.
I'm curious, who in the experienced player opinion is worth having two copies of? Especially SRs.
I saw a Double Killy Ship a few days ago.
He is also very very cheap to FE, which is an important consideration to me.
But if I get a chance of a second copy FF/FE useful legendary, like Prof. Sato, I keep them.
Ditto, y’all. 🖖
7 legendary dupes - Armus (FF), Caretaker (4), Bartender Guinan (3), Gunshow Picard (4), Species 8472 (3), Prof Sato (1), Garth of Izar (1). I've actually gotten a total of 13 Armi, but I'm not going to bother with triplicate crew.
As to the "why?" of it... the original purpose was to help with faction events. Lately, it's more about incrementing the achievement counter and because it gives me mini-goals to complete in the game. I'm currently limiting my duplication efforts to strong cards (unmodified base scores of 900+), and even then, only select ones.
I have 4.or 5 purple crew duplicates. They were ones who are very powerful for purples and come up frequently. Robin hood, whichever Worf has the good security, one of the Dax crew, and a couple others I don't remember. I have the resources to do more, but not the desire.
I also have a second 2* Data from my first few weeks when I despaired of getting good crew and he was in an event. And I have two other 1, 2, or 3 star crew that I must have accidentally doubled at some point.
Basically I don't want duplicate crew, but I will make exceptions when stellar crew come my way already in sets of 4 from events or gold crew.
Two Mirror Picards, Two Armuses (Armi?), Two copies of Irumodic Syndrome Picard and Medic Paris.
That said, now that i have decent crew and most of my crew quarters are lvl 100, I can see the value in seconds of some hero cards.
One of these things is not like the others...
One of these things just doesn’t belong...

Added thoughts to above quotes:
I have 1 dup. Armus. 5/5 & 1/5. For gauntlet i can see how this may be useful, so i thought. Lol. I kept a dup of caretaker, locutus, and mirror picard “holding“ at lvl 10 until i assessed the value of my 1/5 Lvl 100 dup armus in gauntlet. Honestly, if you had 5 armus you cut out all other skills. Even at a 65% you would have zero skill on many round combos. I have never used my dup armus and place 1-20 regularly in gauntlet without merit round refreshes or di crew refresh.
I always airlock dups which it is becoming a huge problem. But... part of the game i accept that.
However this is coming from a perspective of a crew manifest consisting of 726 individuals and 1 dup. If a newer player with less of a roster was lucky enough to get a gauntlet useful dup it may be valuable. After 6 wks i airlocked The rest of my “gauntlet holding” dups.
I’ve had a similar experience - my 5/5* Armus is actually in the freezer right now because the 3/5* Armus is fine by himself in the gauntlet and the immortal one wasn’t going on all that many voyages anyway. I could absolutely see a case for having multiple The Caretakers from a voyage standpoint (I don’t really believe in duplicates for the gauntlet), but he’s really the only one - Locutus is on the fence and the others are not that great for their respective skill combos - and it’s more related to his rare skill set than anything else.
I'm up to 4 an 1/4 so far.
