I'm childless by choice, but if I'd had any, I'd have wanted to have more than 1 for exactly that reason: my sibs have been great. Well, terrible, too, but still, I like having them, alot. Sibs really are the only ones who know what it's like to grow up in that household; it's great to have someone with whom to compare notes. One day in the far future, you and DH won't be here at all, but sibs will be there for each other.
A dear friend is an only and she told me when she was growing up, thinking about what she wished the most was always a toss up between a million dollars and a sibling. Seems like there are more onlies (only-ies?) these days so maybe that's changing, dunno.
