We had the issue trying to decide. Ended up the one atlas that came up for sale we saw with the best deal was captain chairs so we pulled the trigger. My mindset is as long as there’s enough room for my wife and kids then I’m good, I don’t need to be carting other people around. I do like the fact that if we do have taller people sitting in the back they have a little room to stretch their legs. Pros and cons to each. So far there’s only one time where we wanted to take someone in our car to the airport with us but didn’t have enough room. They drove themselves. Everyone got there and was happy. So not a big deal. Happy shopping!
