No issue in my view.

Does dual purchase mean you are buying two bikes of the same model, or one bike shared between the two of you? Sharing a bike seems challenging because of body size difference. My wife and I bought Cannondales at the same time, and she got the Quick and I got the Trail. Both of us are satisfied. The Quick is a road bike without dropped handlebars. Two weeks ago I gave my daughter a Quick CX, which is a female model of the Trail. The Quick CX has a front shock fork, the Quick has a solid front fork.

A possible combination for you and your wife is either two Trails, or a Trail for you and a Quick CX for her. Both of you would then have a bike with front shocks and disk brakes.
youre the man, thanks! funny that you have CT experience
it would be two bikes. i got her a road bike, she grew out of it, then we upgraded. then, she decided she doesnt like it. so now, i want to see if she will be comfy on an SUV

i like the idea of giving her something'faster' than what i would have, but my goal is stability over anything else
