But, between flying that, the regular steam gauge 172SP, and trying out the DA-40, I too have wondered if I am better to focus on one or two planes to be the primary plane rather than three or more.

I'm still in a low-flight-time phase of my life, so I try to get the most out of every dollar (Euro in my case...). There is probably less fun in flying patterns than cross-country, but landings require a lot of practice. You'll do much more for you IFR currency by flying three approaches at close-by airports than two hours of cruise. Needless to say the same applies to Night, and many others. My two cents.
