If you are going to be out quite a bit, then two will give each other company, and adopting two who are already bonded makes good sense, if you have enough space for two and can afford the higher costs

Yes, I agree with Gina.Jenny: if you have a busy lifestyle you’ll want a bonded pair.
Rabbits are easily litter trained and very clean animals, because they’re creatures of habit.

In the initial phase you’ll need to spend a lot of time with them to correct their habits. Rabbits are creatures of habit, and in a new environment they’re going to try and develop new ones (Can I pee here, is this furniture chew-able?). If you don’t correct bad habits from the start it’s difficult te re-train your rabbits later.

Rabbits are also quite shy, depending on the rabbit it may take weeks, months or sometimes more to develop a bond with them.
What surprises people is the social nature of rabbits when they have bonded to you: rabbits will behave in the same way as cats and dogs. They’ll come to cuddle up on the couch next to you, or comfort you when you’re feeling down or ill. They’ll play games and bring a smile to your face with their silly jumps and antics. You’ll miss out on all of that if the rabbits are not in your living room, so please reconsider the placement. Rabbits do not smell if you clean their litter box every 2 days, and most living rooms can be bunny proofed easily with few adjustments.

It’s great that you’re preparing yourself so well before adopting rabbits, thumbs up to you Here’s some more interesting material about them: http://language.rabbitspeak.com/
