Having grown up in a country with a vibrant multi party system, I can tell you it's no panacea. Two things end up happening: parties that are so fragmented you don't know what each stands for anymore. Or single issue parties like the pirate party, green party, gay party etc that offer you no indication or consistency with issues outside their core.
2 parties might not be awesome but maybe 3 or 4 parties would be ideal.

In Sweden, the multiple parties self-organized into 2 blocks, so for a while it was effectively like a 2-party system. But occasionally some small parties would switch blocks, disrupting the balance for a while.
