JohnnyT, you've put together something outstanding here.

Slides fail. Old slides are more likely to fail than new ones. There are plenty of people out there who don't want any slides and will not buy a MH that has any. Don't let anyone talk-down the value of your MH because it has no slides--except to your back as you WALK AWAY from that so-&-so.
tx_maniac, methinks that salesman has a gasser he wants to sell--badly. You're already experienced with Diesel. That's quite a leg-up on aspiring MH-owners who only know what they've heard or read. Periodically, Nanny Fedgov runs out of fingerpaints and modeling-clay for Thaa-CHIL-drun© in GovtSchool, and lets them entertain themselves designing new "Clean-Air®" additives for gasoline. The results are often quite unpleasant unless you're in the business of repairing major fuel-system subassemblies. For obvious reasons this does not happen to Diesel nearly as often. Go with Diesel if you can swing it. I plan to, as soon as I can; I know what I've read about them.
