Boulevard 70 over Radian XTSL? (in a 2001 Forester, next to a Nautilus)

Our baby is currently riding in a Graco Snugride which is about to expire, and we're want to replace it with something that will keep her rear-facing a good long time. The Radian XTSL has the highest RF weight rating, but there are lots of horror stories about trying to get on in the center of a 2001 Forester. (We've installed the Snugride, a Roundabout, and the Nautilus in the center with no problem.) Should I consider the Radian behind the passenger seat, making it impossible for a third adult to ride in the car? I'm leaning instead towards the Boulevard 70 in the center, even though it's only RF up to 40lb. Can anyone reassure me that the Boulevard will fit RF in the 2001 Forester in the center, next to a driver-side Graco Nautilus? The Boulevards have a reputation as good fitters but if I'm going to compromise on the weight limit I'd rather be confident of getting a good fit.

Oh yeah: whatever I get should also be able to install outboard in the back of a 1993 Toyota Corolla.

Thanks for all help!

Is there any way to try them out in a store first? If you don't get the xtsl I'd get a Myride over a britax. The britax have shorter shells and less leg room rear facing.
