I looked at that exact same model and went with forest River (stealth, Shockwave, sandstorm). My decision was based on the local dealer here for Forest River just opened a huge shop and I got a second year factory warranty for $250. That being said, in my decision making, we liked the bathroom much better in the eclipse, better use of the space. And the kitchen was a little better in the eclipse. We liked the color scheme in our stealth.
Other than that, everything in that price range uses the exact same components and every one will have issues, even when you do a thorough PDI. A few trips down the road will expose them. I just recommend you use it a lot the first year to get the bugs worked out. And I'd so research on the repair facility you'll be using. My brother had little issues with his forest River and the local dealer by him screwed his trailer up. He ended up fixing the heating system and a few other things himself.
