Senior Railcard vs. Two Together Railcard

Sorry if this has been asked before but I have been round and round the Forum!
If my wife and I buy a Senior Railcard each (we are eligible!) it costs us £27 each (with discount) i.e £54 in total.
However if we buy a Two Together Railcard it's only £27 (discounted) for BOTH of us.
Have I missed something?
(We would travel together anyway. I know there are some different restrictions on travel times but that wouldn't bother us.)
Any advice please?
TIA

With the 2 together, you'd have to be together, whereas with the senior railcard, you can go your separate waysjust passing through.... Nothing to see....0

FYI, you can get either card for £15 worth of Tesco clubcard vouchers

Two other major considerations.
You can get discounts on peak time fares on the senior r/c.
And with Virgin you can travel peak time on their services with off peak fares.
If either of those are important it may be worth the senior r/c.But if ever I stray from the path I follow

Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!
