Are these correct and natural?

1. I'm in two minds about whether to buy the Jaguar or the Range Rover.
2. I'm in two minds about asking Emma out. She's attractive but she's a bit erratic.
3. I'm in two minds about moving to Liverpool. I'm not sure if the weather there would agree with me.
4. I'm in two minds about my vacation. Italy and Croatia both seem appealing.
5. I'm in two minds about buying the Rolex or the Omega watch.
 
We are usually in two minds about whether or not to do one thing, not about making a choice between two things. #2 and #3 are natural situations for this expression. The others are not.
 
I can't decide/make up my mind between the Jaguar and the Range Rover.
 
Always ALWAYS go for the Jag. Power, beauty, and cachet to boot. Her Maj has terrible taste in cars.😀

I will keep that in mind! ;)
 
In AmE it's 'of' two minds - 'in' strikes me as completely unacceptable (for my variant).
