Well, your sales reps is sort of right, but the specifics of what he said are about 2 years out of date, and not true anymore.
Yes, Forest River Georgetowns come in two different trims - the XL, and the regular Georgetown. The XL comes with a bit more 'bling', several nicer features, but also comes at a higher price.
Now, where your sales reps specific information is wrong, and out of date, is this: New Georgetowns now, ALL of them regardless of trim, get fiberglass roofs. Wasn't that way 'bout 2 years ago, but is now. Here's why, how:
Forest River used to sell the regular Georgetowns (then the top of the line of Georgetowns that got all the nicer features), and the 'VE' (value edition) model that had less features (rubber roof for example) and was less expensive.
That is probably what your sales rep is referring to, the 'Value Edition' of Georgetown that Forest River USED to sell. However, about 2 years ago, that changed. Forest River started the XL series that was a step even higher in terms of 'bling', and they did away with the VE (value edition) model.
Since then (like I said, 'bout 2 years ago), there is the XL version with some of the nicer features, and the regular Georgetown that has almost all the features their top of the line units had up until 2 years ago. To be specific: Now, with any/all Georgetowns regardless of XL or not, you get fiberglass roof, stainless steel sinks, side-opening luggage doors with nicer latches, and a few other features. The XL models get the bigger 22" wheels vs 19.5 on the regular Georgetown, and the XL gets the more stout 22k F53 chassis. If you look on Forest River's web page and their brochures on Georgetown, you can see all the specific differences between XL and regular Georgetown models.
I'm going to guess that your sales rep had a handful of XL models on his lot, no regular Georgetowns, and was trying to move you more toward the XL models. :)
Like 'chuckftboy' said, it all boils down to choices. How much you want to spend vs. what features you want or can do without.
