Do what we did. Go look at each one again and after getting rid of the salesman play house for a half hour or so. Pretend your making a meal, taking a shower, using the toilet. Basically everything you will normally do in it. When we did that and for a very basic reason we choose the Cedar Creek. Our 8 year old Creek has been nearly flawless. As it sits today we are full timing in it, and have two issues. Both of those issues I consider normal wear and tear and in no way a manufacturer flaw. Then only time this trailer was back for warranty work was dealer fault. I think though that you will not go wrong with a Forest River product. They put a lot into the coaches for the price.
One last thought, if I remember correctly Cardinals still use wood roof trusses instead of aluminum that the Cedar Creek does.
