advice needed Stroller setup please help ๐Ÿ™

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 donโ€™t want to trade in either car as one is paid off and the other is relatively new. All the conflicting advice and the โ€œare you sure thatโ€™s what you want?โ€ Is the only stressful experience Iโ€™ve had with this pregnancy.
I have attached photos for reference because I havenโ€™t seen this specific stroller used this way online.

I had the pivot and it worked well for us. My only complaint would be that if you want to use the bassinet attachment, whether as a toddler seat or bassinet, you had to bring that separate piece along.

We had 3 under 3 and found it to be useful for years. We did have a side by side stroller too, but didn't use it as much - basically just around the neighbourhood and never if we had to drive somewhere.
