You will be home every night (or day) and largely depending on the run most runs leave that time and home as less than quality time at home.
But pick your poison because four days on the road isn't great either, but the block of time at home is largely better QOL time at home where you can actually have a life outside of flying.

You are home every nigh at some bases, but from about 8pm to 4am. I wouldn't exactly call that quality time at home. I would rather do a 4 day trip and be home for 2 full days rather then the 8 hrs when you are sleeping to recover for the next day. But thats just me, everyone has their own priorities.

I'm sorry for your loss. I've flown into your FBO multiple times up there in Manchester, great operation! I can only hope it's managed half as well as it was when it was Wiggins. You guys were making roughly 60k/yr there right? Any new pay scales come out yet? I know when they tried to get the caravan on their certificate about a year and a half ago, they had horrible pay scales. Less than 26k/yr. I'm praying for you guys back there!
