Double out and about or mountain buggy duet? Can't decide!

Double out and about or mountain buggy duet... Preferences

I am looking for a second hand double on marketplace. We currently have a single out and about which I love, however I'm due baby number 2 soon so was wanting a double. I'm looking at out and abouts, however a mountain buggy has caught my eye and wondering if I should go for that instead...

Does anyone have experiences with either of these? I appreciate this is probably the wrong forum to post on, but I wasn't sure which would be best!

I have a mountain duet and a nano duo. Love that the duet can fit through most doors but find it very heavy. It moves easily but punctures have been a bit of a nightmare so would consider the aerotech wheels. Nano duo is lightweight and I get good use out of it. A drawback is that it isn't as narrow, I can't get it through my front door.

I had the Mountain Buggy and it was great. Fitted through every doorway and onto buses easily. I had it with a 22 month gap so had the carrycot for one that just slides into the flat seat.

Kept its value too. Bought it secondhand for £200 and sold it thirdhand for £150.

I used the mountain buggy duet for newborns up to 6 years old (!) and absolutely loved it. Heavy to lift in and out the car but a dream to push around on any surface (amd we did a lot of off-roading) and it easily went through all doorways.

Loved my out n about double! I also had a Phil and teds double and oyster max double and the out n about was by far my favourite! So lovely to push!

I got a second hand double mountain buggy when I was in your position and I really loved it. It was a good size to fit through doors and shops and comfortable for them. Possibly a bit heavier than an out and about?
They were hard but I miss those days!

We went for the double out n about. Absolute dream! Fits through all doorways (so far!) and so easy to push. Love it so much! Seems to keep its value really well here as they’re all quite pricey on Marketplace and get snapped up.
