Chuck,
I am also looking at this model even though it is longer than I wan't. Almost 34 feet from pin to back cap. The 27 has the rear kitchen which neither of us like. As far as the price I checked on http://www.seedealercost.com and they don't show AF.
I think if we decide on this model we will order to get exactly what we and and offer to the closest five dealers to us to bid. From everything I have read we should be getting at least a 30% reduction of MSRP.
If we are going all the way up to a 34 foot RV we are also throwing DRV Mobile Suites into the mix as their price compared to AF isn't that far off if they are willing to deal on a special order at same margins and considering that DRV is an another lever for quality.
Good luck!
