Mountain Buggy Double Urban?

Hello - I'm currently trying to decide between the Kiwi E3, the new Jane Powertwin, or the Mountain Buggy Double (Urban with the swivel wheels)(I've got an 18 month old and a baby due in two weeks!) I've seen lots on the E3, the Powertwin is brand new, so I wondered if anyone has any info / advice on what they think about the Mountain Buggy Double? Does it really fit through doorways, is it exceptionally heavy? I've read the stats on their web page, but to be honest I'd rather have true life feedback!!
My friend has a single MB and loves it - is the double as good??
Thanks!

I think I have decided on the MB urban as I think it will be useful for longer with two children close in age. Was worried when I read about the fairly narrow seats in the E3 and also that the weight distribution can be a problem when you only have one in it. Also there is a weight limit on the bottom toddler seat of the E3. Above all, my ds loved looking around when he was a baby so would prefer him to have a good view when we are out and about. So will cope withe the extra weight and width of a MB, I reckon.
Anyone else have any views on the MB urban double? If anyone wants to sell one second hand you have a willing customer!!!

My friend with twins has one. Yes it fits through doorways, and I've picked up single umbrella strollers that weigh more. I would advise getting a new model for a newborn as they recline much more, or getting a carry cot for total flatness.
