You can save some coin by only doing the night currency in both aircraft and skipping the day currency
How? Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you said, or misreading the FARs.


§ 61.57 Recent flight experience: Pilot in command
  1. General experience
    1. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, no person may act as a pilot in command of an aircraft carrying passengers or of an aircraft certificated for more than one pilot flight crewmember unless that person has made at least three takeoffs and three landings within the preceding 90 days, and--
      1. The person acted as the sole manipulator of the flight controls; and
      2. The required takeoffs and landings were performed in an aircraft of the same category, class, and type (if a type rating is required), and, if the aircraft to be flown is an airplane with a tailwheel, the takeoffs and landings must have been made to a full stop in an airplane with a tailwheel.
    2. For the purpose of meeting the requirements of paragraph (a)(1) of this section, a person may act as a pilot in command of an aircraft under day VFR or day IFR, provided no persons or property are carried on board the aircraft, other than those necessary for the conduct of the flight.
Sincere question, not trying to call out or knock anyone or anything like that . I think I just misunderstand what you're saying. Did you mean ignoring day currency all-together to save a little bank?
