Class C vs a smaller Class A

We're in the very early stages of looking at a late model Class C motor home. Browsing some sites such as PPL, it seems that the prices are comparable between a Class C and a smaller Class A (such as a 30 ft. gas Ford V10)? Don't hold me to that statement, I'm a novice in this area. This got me wondering if there were any advantages when comparing a typical 30 ft. Class C and say a 31 ft. Class A? As a novice I would think a Class C with a typical Ford 450 frame and cab may be easier to service? I would appreciate comments and observations from those with some experience in this area.

It has not yet been mentioned that both are measured from the front bumper to the back of the rear bumper. The Class A does not have the angled windshield and the hood using some of that footage in the front. That could be as much as 3-4 feet. So a 30' Class C will not have nearly as much house room as the 31' Class A.
