<p>I print a lot of stuff, and I was thinking I could get several magnetic bed-plates and when 1 print is done simply have my wife pull the plate off and stick on clean plate and start the print again.
But a friend of mine says that won't work. Because even if the plates are made by the same manufacturer you can't guarantee the bed will be level. 〰</p>
<p>Has anyone ever tried this? </p>

Hi MattR, welcome to 3DPrinting.SE! If you have a Z-sensor instead of a Z-switch you could add a `G29` before each print, if the idea is to change the plate while you are not at home and somebody less experienced need to do some tasks, that could be a solution. The crux is what kind of printer you have, please expand the question by [edit]!

I print a lot of stuff, and I was thinking I could get several magnetic bed-plates and when 1 print is done simply have my wife pull the plate off and stick on clean plate and start the print again.
But a friend of mine says that won't work. Because even if the plates are made by the same manufacturer you can't guarantee the bed will be level. 〰

It is a question of quality:

You better make sure that your plates are the same thickness evenly, and level very similarly. If that can be assured, they can be swapped easily.

In case you have a bed leveling sensor of some sort, you might include a whole bed-leveling cycle in front of every print and exchange between numerous beds, even of slightly variant thicknesses and with dings.
