Speculation? Everything at this point is, but you can't really argue that 32 retainers isn't better than 4.. and having access to 8 specialized classes isn't better than 1, or getting 72 oaknots a day isn't better than getting 9.. etc. Numbers > < =
You should re-read that, it does say you can have multiple.
The delay in switching could be as little as an hour. After all the same speech is given for AST switching stances.. There will be a delay.

With out knowing what the crafts that are available under spec, you cannot knowingly say that it WILL or will NOT reward alts.
You can only guess. As can the rest of us.

People can have alts now, and grind out more oaknots every day.
