If SCORE is hourly earnings then I'm guessing the latter scenario produces the higher SCORE. But which scenario will generate a higher CE?

With one other player, play the two hands of $75. EV increases by 50% and you use 33% more cards (four hands instead of three), which is a good tradeoff.
Note that your variance does NOT remain the same; rather it also increases. It's your ROR that remains the same, which isn't the same thing as variance.
