Help me play musical carseats

What I have right now:
Sofi MA Grandma's car (occasional use on weekends)
Sofi EFTA in DH's car (sometimes uses once/ day, some days not)
Sofi Titan my car (center)
BabyS Titan my car (outboard)

DH needed an EFTA because the BV was too hard for him to tighten. He had arm surgeries, and has less strength in that arm. The carseat wouldn't fit RF behind the driver's seat (where he could use his other arm). Now he says it's difficult to tighten. I agree, lol. I think as the vehicle seat bottom is compressing over time, and I am tightening the EFTA, the knobs have dug into the vehicle seat back more. So, he wants a different seat.

Seats I have to play with:
MA
EFTA
2 Titans
Radian (that can only be used in my car, outboard)
I really really really want an Alma MR, but have to sell more toys first.

So, what suggestions do you have?

I was thinking.... EFTA in Grandma's car. Her seatback are nice and flat, no knob issues. It would be easier for her to tighten than the MA (she says the MA doesn't bother her). Titan in DH's car. MA in my car for Sofi, and leave BabyS in the Titan in my car. Leaving the Radian still in the closet.

Or.... EFTA for Sofi in my car (I'll have to see how it puzzles with BabyS' Titan), Titan in DH's car, and leave MA in grandma's.

Or.... EFTA for BabyS (though I think I remember the knobs were difficult outboard, I'll have to try again). That seat would be easier to share with other kids when I don't have BabyS. Titan in DH's car, and leave MA in Grandma's.

I would like to have a TF for DH's car. But he didn't decide this before I traded it for a Radian :rolleyes: and I didn't buy one on Woot (he didn't decide this before the Woot deal either). It's easy to get Sofi in/out w/o adjusting the harness, and isn't as twisty as the Titan.

Does the MA have less legroom than the Titan? I tend to think it does because of the way it's angled.

ETA: If the EFTA and Titan don't play nicely together, I can put the RN in my car for BabyS and put Sofi in BabyS' Titan (or in EFTA) in my car.
