I went through the same dilema.
After having a 2dr I realized it was just not working for our family.
I swallowed my pride, real jeeps are 2drs, took a reality pill, swallowed hard and went back to dealership to try and get a 4dr. I took a hit on the trade and had to put more money down to keep payments the same.
However, my kids are much happier getting into the back seat through doors, the floor is flat in the backseat area, we can fit three kids in the back seat, the rear seat folds flat, there is much more room behind the rear seat for our dog/hockey stuff/stuff in general, AND most importantly my wife likes the 4dr better.
Whole family is much happier with the 4dr and that to me is the bottom line.
Just gotta go with what works for your situation.
Oh and my guitar fits much better in the rear seat of the 4dr too

Oh, and they never wave. 
New thread devoted to pictures of hot soccer moms driving their 4-door Wranglers?

My wife had the same dilema. She first bought an 07 Sahara 2dr. I wanted one first but she ended up trading in her tahoe for it. So I had to get a truck to tow our travel trailer (22'). Eventually, I talked her into letting me trade my 07 Frontier in for an 08 2dr X model for myself and I haven't ever looked back. Later I sold the trailer After gas went crazy we also purchased an 08 Yaris. Somewhere my wife decided she wanted a 4dr, 6spd with a hard top. So we went to the dealer and traded in both the yaris and her Sahara for a 4dr X model, 6spd, soft top. This Jeep came with 35" tires and a bunch of other after market goodies. It was between this or a 4dr Rubi (I wish she would have picked) but doesn't really need. My 10 year old daughter won out, she wanted the "Big Yellow One" (x model) so that's what we got. One other reason we;er she, decided on the 4dr is we have a 8month old Bull Mastiff and that joker is getting too big for a 2dr or a Yaris (we have 2kids also). I do have to admit I have Tire envy
