2 Car Insurance Policy - Best Provider?

Hi,
I'm looking around to find a policy that allows me to insure 2 cars on the same policy.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a good (cheapest!) provider?
I have had a look at the Direct Line website, but the quote calculator doesn't allow for including a 2nd car. I've had a look at ECar, who I found on a Google search. Are there any others?
I've rung my current insurer, who has quoted for a new policy, but allowing me a discount using my current policy of protected 6yrs+, which did seem about £60 cheaper than other quotes from Confused.Com for new policies without NCD.
I am thinking that using my current provider for this year, until my renewal date in '08 might be a cheapest way (the 1st car is already insured and paid for in full till June next year), and then find a joint policy from then on.
The only other way round this would be to change the V5 (log book) to have my boyfriend as the registered keeper of the vehicle, then he could change his current insurance for nothing. The only problem I foresee with this is that I don't want the V5 to then appear to have 4 registered keepers (it's 11 months old!), which I believe might devalue it, and cause suspicion if we were to try to sell it in the future, plus, since I paid out the hefty amount of cash for the vehicle, I'd rather like to have my name registered as the owner. My BF has no will, so this could be construed as part of his estate should the worst happen (I'm already a widow, so I do think of these things!), and I could find his estranged family get it.
If anyone has any experience I'd much appreciate it. Thoughts anyone?
Thanks!
