That is a popular floor plan for families wanting to move up to 5th wheels. They tend to move off the lot quickly.
Re: The packages - a major difference is the visual - the Diamond is the Taupe color, the Platinum is white. Some folks don't want white, some don't like taupe color. That would be a deal breaker to some folks.
The Diamond has a few extra items with the shielded awning covers being a really nice addition.
My trailer has the Diamond package.
The price difference between the Diamond and Platinum package is the price difference between the two rigs. Both quotes are right at the same price before the package addition.
The ExploreUSA rig has a second AC already installed in the bedroom. I cannot tell from the Funtown if it also has a second AC. I would assume so. You really need two ACs if you are going to be near Texas in the summer time.
In 2006 when we moved into our house on March 30, the temp hit 93 on April 3, 97 on April 19. That was an unusual year. But something to remember that it can happen.
Edit - One additional thing. An area where the PDI tech wasn't up to current standards was the lights in my trailer. I asked if they were LED because there was nothing in the literature or manufacturer web site.
He said - no - halogen.
I later pulled a couple covers, then checked in detail - every light in the trailer is LED.
Another item was the flapper for the range hood vent. Forest River has apparently gone to a new type with an integrated clip closure - rather than the one with the two moveable tabs that have been around for generations.
