The 2017 Spartan Chassis has disc brakes on all axles vs Freightliners front disc and rear s-cam drums.

For me, the improved brake performance all disc brakes on the Spartan chassis make this the better chassis. Unfortunately, there are some rumors that the rear axles will be going back the S-cams drums for 2018. A call to the dealer will confirm the Newmar's current plans.
