Mini Double Tub vs. Martha

Hey All,
My question is this: I have 4 12qt sterilite tubs that are currently in the spawn run. I do not exactly have the money to set up a martha right now and was wondering if I could just make some mini double tubs using 1inch holes with polyfill. Will there be a significant difference in yield or FAE? Has anyone ever done a side by side comparison? Just to elaborate, these will NOT be HUGE double tubs. They are 12qt bins that I will make a mini dub tub setup. I have searched through the forums and found many threads regarding monotubs and marthas but did not find any specific answers comparing mini dub tubs to a martha. Please help!!
Thanks in Advance, GG

Id go with the mini-mono for the hands free setup, or the "set-it and forget-it" method. Marthas require more shit and attention too humidity, where a mono is self-sufficient.

BTW, I did WBS spawned to 60/30/10 Coir/Verm/Hpoo.
This is why I'm thinking that the mini dub tub idea will work because the sub will be moist enough to keep the humidity at a reasonable level. I was just worried about the FAE or any other concerns you guys may have with this setup.

I currently have two monos going right now and one fruiting chamber. I did not have space for another mono so I was going to be doing the four mini dub tubs near a window sill with a 6500K CFL clipped to the sill so I get sunshine and "fake" sunshine. My two monos are very bulky right now and a martha would not be ideal for me. This is why I would like to go the route of four mini dub tubs. I am just worried about yields (especially with MS big mex).

Sorry to bump but does anyone have any personal experience doing a mini double tub setup like the one I am proposing?
