Radian purchasing advice needed

We have a 2000 quest and currently 4 kiddos riding in it with another on the way. I am pretty sure we aren't going to be able to do 3 across in it so we are looking at getting another vehicle. However I am pretty sure we will still need to get a few new seats as what we have now is 1 regent 2 nauti 2 EFTA's and a flex loc oh and a compass b510. I am thinking we will get 2 radians but I am not sure which ones... my youngest two right now are 4.75 yo 38 pounder and 2.75 36 pounder, and then another babe due in Dec.

I see two scenerios-
both these kiddos use the seats when baby is born (probably 1 rfing and 1 ffing) and baby uses either the flex loc or the EFTA for a while

or baby uses a radian at birth as well as probably the younger guy rfing until he outgrows that, (so potentially 2 rfing for a bit but at least 1 long term) then 5 yo uses EFTA or Nauti depending on what ends up fitting in the vehicle.

So I am thinking the xt for forward facer and 65 for rearfacer, thinking one of each since baby will be rearfacing for a good long while so wouldn't 'need" the XTness, while rfing... but then if baby ends up using EFTA he could use that for a good long while and in that case should I buy assuming primarily ffing but being used a a little while with my then 3 yo rearfacing (so 2 xt's), and at some point rearfacing for the baby?

Hope this makes sense PG brain is probably either making a mountain out of a molehill or not seeing the blatently obvious answer to my question :) So 1 or 2 xt's?

Thanka :)

Any opinions? I have one of each in my hip monkey cart right now but with dh being laid off I have having a hard time pressing the buy button no matter what I get.
