Default Need advice on second chuck

Hello all. First time poster I own a Sorby lathe that I bought some years
ago when Farris Machinery was a US distributor. Due to a move the lathe had
been in storage for some years. Now that I have a shop I'm getting back into
turning. I currently use a Oneway chuck and have generally turned smaller
items...currently Christmas ornaments.

It has become annoying and time consuming to switch back and forth between
the one inch and two inch jaws and have decided to make another chuck
purchase to avoid the hassle. I've considered (a) another Oneway, body only,
which would allow me to use the jaws I already have (just the 1 and 2 inch);
(b) a cheaper Penn State scroll chuck that comes with a 1 and 2" jaw set,
or, (c) upgrade to a larger chuck and use the Oneway as my secondary chuck.

Anybody gone through the same thing or have any words of advice? Thanks in
advance for your help.
