CR has been hit or miss on quality over the past few yrs, so you would need to have a good dealer. From the numbers, it must have 5200 lb axles and more carrying capacity than you can probably use. It also has a tub.
The Jayco has a corner shower and in a small bathroom, access may be awkward. The opposing slides will give you a more open living area if they don't cause a problem in tight camping spots (not likely since the street side slides are not full depth and all RVs need sufficient curb side space for door access anyway).
I've never had a problem with a 32 gal black tank, for just 2 people it is sufficient for 2 weeks. Both units are using conventional slide mechanisms for the main slides (CR had problems when they tried using the Schwintek system on the main slides).
With just a quick look at both units, I'd probably go with the Jayco due to the layout and hopefully better quality. But then there are many more details in the equation.
