I agree on the small difference in actual capacity. BUT, I would go 3500 with Aisin and factory rear air ride. You get more power also and the ability to adjust your tires to what YOU want.

Yes, long beds do have a little harder time in small parking lots but when you have a truck for towing there are trade offs. Long bed translates to longer wheel base and "better smoother ride". Also, when pulling a 5th wheel, sometimes you get in tight spaces and need to jack knife the trailer. With a short bed some people have crashed the trailer into the cab... Not saying you can't pull with short bed but requires more attention to detail.
