Sounds like with the new ones, it's boiling down to having a side radiator as a preference or not. Haven't heard it mentioned much here, but consider it very important for a lot of reasons and a deal breaker for me.
With the newer models, I have seen a lot of the side mounted fans, driven mechanically with a PTO sort of affair. I have a 2 speed fluid drive, which seems to free up a lot of space, but couldn't comment on the effectiveness of one or the other, although it does seem to be silent running. Then again, a CAT clatters so loud, how could one hear anything else?

I believe with the new Dutch Star your choice of Spartan/Freightliner chassis includes side radiator with each option.
