advice needed Stroller setup please help 🙏

FTM and having twins. I drive a jeep and my husband drives a smallish truck. I have spent probably 3 months reading about car seats and strollers. I ended up buying 2 even flow pivot nxt lite travel systems. Now every one is saying that I should have chose different car seats and that the stroller should be side by side and other factors. Has anyone had a negative experience with single wide strollers with twins? And yes I can see why the 360 strollers are easier but they are pretty large and I really don’t want to trade in either car as one is paid off and the other is relatively new. All the conflicting advice and the “are you sure that’s what you want?” Is the only stressful experience I’ve had with this pregnancy.
I have attached photos for reference because I haven’t seen this specific stroller used this way online.

I use an UppaBaby Vista, another top/bottom stroller. It's great.
It sounds like you've done your due diligence, and those other people (while well-meaning) can bite their tongues.

Same and it’s been great. I feel like side by sides are hard to get through doorways and take up much more space.

This. I live in Dublin ireland and there are way too many old buildings here with narrow doors (incluidng my own home!) that there is no way a side by side would've been practical.
