One feature that Newmar offers, not found on other mfr than Newell, is Newmar's Comfort Drive. Pretty amazing technology and now on all their Diesel Pusher line, not just the top end.
Also, like that Winnebago has weathered all economic downturns, and are able to provide repair parts even for really old WBGs. We think long term part / repair OEM capability is also worth considering.
We had considered an '11 Allegro Red but that year Tiffin was trying to make different mechanical and electrical chassis/coach parts more easily accessible from basement on theory it would cost less in labor time to service/repair. But, the net usable storage area seemed less in our opinion.
Also, be sure to check how much clear walking space you have inside when slides are retracted. Some floorplans had sofa ends, or other obstructions we thought were a tight squeeze, or not easy to open bathroom door, if you had to use the coach for rest stop mealtime with slides retracted.
So, as others have said... Lots of factors when considering which mfr.
