We bought our 32A last year.
The most important thing I can tell you is to have a strong, high volume dealer behind you.
If something is seriously (read "expensive") wrong with your RV, Northwood will say pretty much anything to get out of it. Only the strength of good dealer behind you will get action.
Now I know there will be folks out there who will argue about this but that was my ACTUAL experience.
Don't read too much into the percieved quality of NW products. If the avg RV is a 5, NW stuff is probably a 6. In many ways my TT, the flagship model, is not built as well as my old 2004 Wildcat was.
What the extra cost of a AF gets you is more Hardware related. Stuff like more and bigger windows (some models are dual pane), better water pump and water heater. Also solid surface Kitchen and bath counters (but not ALL counters). Lots of other stuff.
It also gets you a superior chassis frame - the only thing that's better than my old WIldcat. The house frame is inferior.
