While normally I'd say find a floorplan that you want to make you happiest. But since you'll be stationary in Atlanta for a few years, make sure the unit is a 4-season.
We tried an inexpensive new Open Road 5er in FL and quickly found after moving it to NC for the winter, that we needed better insulation and two AC's.
Since I'm in the RV 24/7 - DH allowed me to do research and we went new 2006 Elite Suite. At the time, Suites were fairly new and used Teton's were hard to find. We're on our 3rd and final Suite, our retirement home. The 2009 needed a few upgrades, so we bit the bullet and ordered a 2014. A month later, DRV came up with even more features, but we lucked out and got a few new features added on ours when it went on the line.
We worked with a great dealer who specializes in DRV 5ers in Elk City, OK and got a decent deal. They are taking in quite a few Suite trade-ins.
