With that being so I would think that (for example) if you are used to providing more force for each pedal stroke, and a faster (or higher) cadence than your partner, would (if i'm thinking this through correctly) cause the bike to list in one direction and you would find yourself having to correct for that drift on a regular basis.
I know that I'm totally over-thinking this, but I'm intrigued by the idea.
Also, for $300, who cares what any of us internet armchair commentators have to say!
You're probably overthinking it, but it could be possible to have issues with two riders of wildly dissimilar power outputs or pedaling styles. Probably not a real world problem at the speeds most teams ride those sociables.
Here's another take on side-by-side cycling.
