2 carts vs 1 four seat cart?
I have an inexpensive 4 forward electric cart (evolution d5). So far it's treated us very well. Good range (70 miles) cheap, lots of options (unproven Chinese brand). We have used the back seat a lot more than we thought we would, we had a lot of family over the summer but we also have made great friends with a couple of our neighbors and when we go somewhere together we take our cart. I test drove a lot of them before we bought, this one has all the seats between the wheels so it's well behaved when you're fully loaded. It's also only 6" or a foot longer than the Yamaha with 2 forward and 2 rearward.

I'll be the first person to say buying a Yamaha is a safe bet, can't go wrong. If you want to dip your toe in the ev world for a lot less money this might be a consideration. You're welcome to borrow it for a few days if you'd like to test drive it.
