If you're looking at the backhoe, that might be the deciding factor between the 2. I've spent quite a bit of time on true TLBs, and for the projects I do, I get tired of having to go through the procedure of turning the seat, because often times, I jump back and forth in 5 minute or less intervals. I actually prefer the dual seat setup that I have on my machine.
Not to say I don't like the single seat setup on a larger machine, but those are big enough to have the walk-thru feature. When you have to basically get off the smaller machine anyway, or be a contortionist to climb into the backhoe seat from the tractor platform, I prefer to be able to jump off and hop onto another seat that simply needs to be tilted down. Just one other item to think about.
