I base my opinion on the following...
A twin pass costs $135US per person. So, assuming my math is correct, that's about $270 for the passes. Now, those passes will provide unlimited Deutsche Bahn travel and S-Bahn travel around Munich (not the U-Bahn). Looking at our proposed trips, the only true Deutsche Bahn travel would be to Kloster Weltenburg. This is approximately 18.8 Euro per person each way. At an exchange rate of $1.25 per Euro, that is about $93 for two people round trip.
An U-bahn single day/all zone pass, with a partner is 16 Euro ($20). So, even if a pass was purchased for four days, that's another $80. Total expenditures for train travel approximately $173; saving $100 over the passes. Now, I know I've probably underestimated a few things, but even with that, it seems like the pay-as-you-go method works out better.
Let the discourse begin......

Did you count the train pass Airport/Central station v.v. to it?
I did not count the travel from the airport. That is about 12 Euros I believe, so with round rips, that is $60 for two people two trips. Savings is now $40.
Mr. MBA.... wow... You got your money's worth!!!!
I say NO to the Twin pass as Paulaner Girl may find some Aryan Hunk to hang with, and then I would have no pass. ;-)
Excellent analysis. No train passes - excepting perhaps the Mr and Bonie Grumpy
