Pros and Cons of 2 cav verus 4 Cavity RG molds?

I know 4 is always better than 2 but is it any harder to cast good hollow points with a 4cav versus a 2 cavity??
I’m use to the old lyman  single cavities and want to try a NOE hollow point mold.  I can live with 2 Cavities but would love to go to 4 unless they are more finicky or difficult to use.
Any thoughts or advise?

Personally, I have several of each and I do find that the 4’s are easier to use and hold heat better (making boolits drop better) than the 2’s.  I definitely recommend the 4 if you can swing it.

Yep, 4 is best, they do hold and even out the heat better.

4 brass, can be heavy enough to be tiring. Prefer Alu in 4 cav.
