Purchase Dilemma: Forest River vs Nexus

We own a 2014 Sunseeker on a Chevy. It has Azdel walls, not sure about the roof. Recently we toured the factory and the Nexus factory. Forest River is still using Azdel, and they vacuum form their walls.
If you are buying a Ford, I would buy the Nexus. They are better built. We like the Chevy ergonomics and handling better than the Ford, but that is not what you are asking. For house build quality, I'd vote Nexus.
We are happy with our Sunseeker, though.
I forgot that FR puts Azdel in the walls, it's just the luan on the roof vs. Azdel that is different.
Thanks for the info. I'm curious if there were any things in particular that you at the factories that has you suggest I go with Nexus if I want the Ford?
Also, I think I'm remembering correctly that the Forest Rivers in the size I was looking at didn't have retractable steps. I wonder if that means they are lower to the ground?
