We have several sites (used to be three or four, but I think it is down to two now) which share exactly the same templates. All site specific information is processed with include files. It works great (but the other sites wanted more customization, which is why we are slowly splitting them apart). If your design is robust, you should be able to have a single include file determine all of the variable information (the actual included template will be cached so performance isn't an issue). We actually have the sites share a single directory tree with subdirectories for eash subsite's custom features. We also store the databases in the Globals folder, so any shared databases can be unique (loaded only once).
