...My main purpose is to make backup copies of my SD cards. At this point I shoot only one 2GB card per concert shoot. This limits the amount of data to be processed and pushes the need to be more selective up. So put the card in, copy it in another, done.

Well, while I have had card failures while recording in camera on them, I´ve never had a card fail after it was removed from the camera and put in a container.  I guess anything can happen (like dropping or misplacing the card container), but altogether it seems that your backup scheme would only cover a very low-risk period of the entire duty cycle, and not be worth it.

Even if you now need to re-use cards during a shot, you´d be far better of (and much safer) by buying more cards, and do the backup when safely home again.

As I said, I do have a 20 GB device to copy cards to, but nowadays I hardly ever use it.  Enough cards is far safer, faster and simpler.  Unless I already had bought the device, it would probably be cheaper, too (I´ve never even been close to filling those 20 GB on one trip).
