Nope:

But in reality, what code is duplicated? There's the two lines
def setup/end, and the framework around the class. It really seems
fairly minimal, particular as a nonpolymorphic equivalent would have
some kind of conditional statement which itself had duplicated code (a 
test and some scaffolding).

So, in this case, I'd give the multiple-class approach a Pragmatic
Seal of Approval.
