Multiple vehicles may be towed, 4 down one vehicle only.
Changing toads with a dolly tow will likely be free! New 4 down toad results in removal from the old toad and installation of the gear in the new toad and maybe buying a new base plate. Likely a tidy sum!

Bottom line, each method has both pros and cons. The upshot is that the OP is the person who will be using the equipment and therefore that equipment must be tailored to that person's specific needs. There is no right of wrong!
