I'd suggest more than one bike, as previously mentioned you'll end up with a mediocre overall bike that maybe has some capabilities but excels at nothing. I have too many bikes, but ideally I would have at least 3 or so for the riding I do most frequently and each of them being well sorted for specific riding styles.

Oh, lightweight and all rounder has you looking at carbon most likely if weight is a concern. Larger tires and beefier rims are increased weight in general.
weight is not a major concern or steel. Well rounded single speed is probably what I am aiming at. I guess it makes sense to consider more than one bike in this case. Better to have have choices than one mediocre choice
