We have a 2014 Bounder 33C with a vacuflush. It has advantages and disadvantages. The bad - the noise. Until you get used to it, it is loud (for 30 seconds at a time). The good - we have no issues with 'bathroom' smell ever inside the coach and it uses quite a bit less water, which is great for us since we dry camp a lot.
The main advantage of having a vacuflush is that the floor plan doesn't have to conform to black tank placement - the pump can be located just about anywhere. Newer models have relocated the pump to a better location (not under the bed, so I've heard) where it can be worked on and won't be heard while sleeping. Also, On rigs with two toilets, it means only one black tank to hook up and empty rather than one for each toilet.
We have driven our Bounder over 33K miles in the almost two years we have owned it, going from Key West to Alaska and back. Our only problems have been with OEM equipment (satellite dish, water pump, leveling jacks); we have experienced no issues with the house or the chassis.
