Differences between quad and triple and other tips ?

So i am planning to get a quad tandem at some point and was wondering if there is anything different to riding a quad over a triplet ? Anything unique to quads over tandems and triples ? i own both a tandem and a triple just wondering what a quad is like.

33.3% better than a triplet! 100% better than a tandem!

I'd be pretty wary of the wheels, given the weight of a quad. Brakes obviously too. Frame flex must be through the roof.

I think the best approach is to buy a fully coupled quad so you have a triplet and a tandem all in one. Just remove the middle sections you don't need. Sure, that entails some logistics, but it could be done. But then again, riding a tandem with such a beefy frame and quad wheels might not be a whole lot of fun.
