Boulevard v. Radian 65

Our triplets are about to outgrow their infant seats. I've narrowed down the next car seat purchase to either a Boulevard or a Radian 65. Which is the better seat? Is there any advantage to the Radian, other than the fact that it is narrow? We have a 2007 Suburban, and the second row has Captain's chairs. Since the babies will continue to be rear-facing for quite a while, I'm guessing I'll put 2 babies in the captain's chairs, a third baby in the back row, and my oldest DD in the back row as well. So, the narrowness of the carseat isn't really an issue. Even so, I'm guessing 3 Boulevards would fit in the back row of my Suburban- right?
The only advantage I can see to the Radian is that if we needed to move those seats to another car, say if DH drove them somewhere (which has never happened!), they would all fit in the back seat of his smaller car.
I've read that the Radians are difficult to install... is this true?
Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated. Also, as an aside, my babies aren't huge... at 10.5 mos, my boy is 20 lbs and the girls are almost 18. My oldest DD, who is 5.5, weighs only 42 pounds. So I'm not super-concerned about them outgrowing the weight limits anytime soon.
Thanks for your help!
