Looking at the different entry level coaches, we had the same issues. Power vs cost vs amenities. You really can't judge a coach by its pictures. We liked the Allegro Red pictures and went to look at one. On the lot was a Fleetwood Discovery. Mo money, for sure. But they were night and day compared to the pics. The Discovery is a very nice coach. The thing I found was that the 340HP and less ISBs it that you only get the Allison 2500. To get the 3000, you need the 360HP ISB or bigger. For me, I wanted the 3000. ISB or ISC, I wanted the Allison 3000. Too much weight in the mountains with the smaller tranny. IMO.
And really the Discovery is an entry level coach for Fleetwood. Don't know much about the Alegro Red, but I do know Fleetwood coaches because I was very interested on the Fleetwood Eagle for many years. And the Eagle vs the Discovery is like day and night.
