The question makes me wonder if you are throwing darts. Not sure I understand why you are looking at coaches that are in no way similar. Did you stop at one dealership and see these 2 and just like them? The primary thing you should be looking for first is a floorplan that meets your needs. Forget 2 different MH's years apart with different drivetrains. Floorplan. What will you be doing with the coach? How will you be using it? What's your budget? THEN look at what models in your price range offer what you need. Might be a dp, might be a gasser, might be newer or older. But it seems like you are starting comparing coaches that are in no way similar. Forget apples to oranges, you are comparing apples to elephants. There is no real comparison between these 2.
Trying to get input from "those who know" on all aspects as we are early in the shopping process and we are trying to get tips that will play to what we need/want. Because we've never had a motorhome we don't yet know exactly what to look for/avoid. So far we've just done some online inspecting.
This will be used in roughly an 8 hour radius of our home for long weekend trips. We aren't looking to go cross country for months at a time. Longest trip would likely be a week or so.
