The later 4 seaters have a much taller wood seat rails/blocks therefore you sit slightly higher and more forward than on the 2 seater. The older four seaters (from memory) had a higher/ taller scuttle rail/bulk head (not sure if or when this changed) which gave slightly higher bottom edge to the dash board which gave a little more leg/thigh room for the taller driver.
For me, until recently the opportunity to improve the rear suspension setup was far more restricted on the later 4 seater, but I believe (stand to be corrected) you can now get the rear 5 link setup for some 4 seaters. I certainly never had problems with carrying 4 people in my Kent engined 4/4 with its much higher ground clearance, I never tried with my Roadster 4 seater, but with just luggage in the rear (benefited from fold down rear seat backs giving a carpeted flat deck) with the much lower ground clearance, the car struggled with sleeping policemen more than my 70th 4/4 similarly loaded. From an aesthetics point of view, I've always found the last iteration of the 4 seater to be a very attractive car, with the painted side screens changing the profile of the car, The later hood and side screens are much better designed and executed and create quite a stylish car especially hood down with the side screens in, much more weather proof and less draughts than earlier iterations.
I find the two seaters a more intimate cocooned driving experience, compared with the 4 seaters, which give the appearance and feel of a more open spacious environment by comparison.
Whilst I'm looking for another 2 seater Morgan following hurting my back ,where I found the more upright driving position of the 4 seater just a little too restrictive for my 6'2'' frame, where I can manage a more comfortable position in a 2 seater.
