Not sure this has been mentioned, but if you want to turn a tight corner when towing, say you get in trouble or make a bad decision, the Sprinter will turn much quicker than the other units. I have had both a E450 and Sprinter and would never go back to the larger unit, just for that reason alone (test drive them both, and you will see). And, if you get the J model (Winnebago View or Navion), the interior opens up nicely -- the other units have walls and other things in the way, and they felt cramped to me. And the cabin seems much easier to move around in than the E -- I can move the seat much further back, and my spine is much happier.
As for mileage, it is similar to other observations. Tow a Jeep Wrangler (4000+ pounds), and mileage goes down about 2, and you know it is there, just like I knew it was there in the E series.
The above is just one simple farm boy's opinions.
