Summer and Winter Wheel Strategy

I will be getting hold of a road bike next week and have opted to get some Fulcrum 3's for Summer use and some 5's for Winter/Turbo Trainer detail (Both sets will have own cassette for ease of transfer).
My question is, how do you guys find the mixing of Summer and Winter Cassettes with the 'all year' Chain/Chain rings (i.e. reduced wear rate on cassettes due to part time usage). My question follows experience with MTB's, where I find that when I change the chain I normally require a new cassette and usually a couple of chain rings due to 'Wear' compatibility. So do you experience problems when changing the wheels over and find 'skipping' issues etc due to the difference in wear with the chain/chain rings?
Really look forward to your responses/experience with this.

I run handbuilts (Rigida Nova on Tiagra hubs) over winter. These are fairly old and easy to maintain, so I don't mind if they see salt.
I have another pair of wheels (Shimano RS30) which I use in the summer when the mudguards are off, and also I use the back one in winter on the turbo.
The cassette on the handbuilts is on its third chain, the cassette on the RS30s is new. I change chains at about 0.75% wear. The cassettes run fine.
I think running guards reduces the winter crud build up, I try to keep on top of chini cleanliness too.
This gets rid of the 'paste' that can wear the chain and cassettes badly.

That is a good plan, as long as you aren't swapping wheels back and forth regularly (like I am!).
As long as the chain doesn't elongate too much then I can't see that it should wear a new cassette.
+1. A regular clean will be far less hassle than faffing around changing chains and cassettes.
