You'd have to play with it, but I find that the Radian works well in the same direction as the Britax seat and the Britax seats tend to mesh well when one is FF and one is RF.
What directions do you need your seats? You might be able to get RF advantage, FF MA, FF RN.

Yeah, really the same, both incredibly narrow, I just don't know for sure if they work in that car (try target.com, if it totally doesn't work, you can return it to a B&M store, at least).
If you're not into the Parkway, try a Jane Indy or Monarch... or Recaro Start...more stable and confining
They are both very similar. The 80 I believe has additional reinforcements which allow the higher weight limit. Also, they allow you to use the 80 for a certain ammount of height AFTER the shoulders are above the highest harness slot (FF). The concern from many on this forum is that when harnesses are used in this situation, crash forces would/could result in spinal compression. I have no idea how Sunshine Kids addresses this issue, but would be REALLY interested to hear their comments. Because of this concern, many here feel that the 80 is a waste of money because they wouldn't use it once the shoulders are above the top harness.
Are you interested in it for your youngest? What car will it be installed in? Latch or seatbelt, RF or FF?

I'm afraid my DD may be too little to start out in this seat now
Nope, it fits even newborns excellently (is that a word?) http://picasaweb.google.com/joolstag/LeahInCarseats/photo#5043341934780876610
