The main advantage to having the extra CIM is acceleration and I believe (check me on this) that is will decrease the load on the individual motor, making your breaker less likely to trip during a tough pushing match.
I advise you go with 4.

I propose, these forums are not a competition. There is no race to prove a point, to prove you are right, to prove you are wrong. - rees2001 [more]
