Considering a Dual SIM phone for 1 number + 1 data SIM. But does it matter?

international

So I need one SIM slot for my number in whichever country and the 2nd slot might be interesting for possible (light) data use only. 50-100 MB is more than enough.

Best deal for data would be a pay-per-megabyte deal, such as Three 321 in the UK, completely flexible: http://www.three.co.uk/Store/Pay_As_You_Go_Price_Plans

But I realize not all countries offer this that's why a 2nd SIM slot might or might not be interesting, for a data only SIM. But these SIMs often not offer PAYG plans, and I certainly don't need gigabytes, so I do not want to pay for that much data.

In your experience, could you use a dual SIM phone for 1 number + 1 data extensively (because of pricing policies in different countries) or dual SIM was not a benefit for data, only for 2 numbers?

Consider the mighty iPhone does not come in a dual SIM version.
