  We have the Contours Options LT retails for around 240 to 260 I believe, amazon has it cheapest. We only paid 180 with amazon moms discount and free shipping though! Love it so far!

  Depending on your needs you may need both. I love my side by side on nightly walks around the neighborhood but it's not great if you are out shopping or visiting a children's museum.
  
  Right now I have a Valco Snap Dual that I love and I use it just about every day. It's easy to push and all terrain so it's great to use...yes I'm doing it to get back in shape. It was also right around 400. I chose it over the City Mini for it's huge basket.
  
  I was also gifted a Safety 1st stand onBoard that I've used on weekends....and I hate to admit it but I like it just as much in different ways even though it's what I consider a cheap stroller. It's not as long as a a traditional tandem and I like the fact that the car seat attaches in the back and not the front like the Joovy sit n stands I looked at. That way DS1 can sit in the front and not have to use the SnS seat or stand and I'm there with DS2. That stroller also takes Graco, Chicco, Peg, and Britax seats so I think it will resale nicely. I used mine in an older downtown area and it fit through old doors and went over brick pavement with no problems.
  
  If I was doing it over again for what I spent on the first I might consider doing the Joovy side by side and the stand onBoard. It actually would have been cheaper at around 350. I've learned no stroller does everything for every situation. Those 2 would cover your needs well.

  I got both because i do most of the transporting of the children myself as i am a sahm and we go somewhere everyday to keep my sanity...I got the city select (pricey but i couldn't resist..) for the mall and indoor type places.. and the city mini gt double for outside places where we dont need to fit in tight spaces...i got the city mini gt for a great deal so im happy i got both...most of my friends with 2+ kids prefer the side by side i just feel like if you spend a ton of time strolling with the kiddos it's better to have choices

  I think the Valco Snap Duo is nicer than the Peg.  I would look into that... if fact I just saw one on Amazon for $299.
