We have found the sales videos by Lichtsinn Motors to be most informative regarding Winnebago/Itasca. (http://www.lichtsinn.com)
There are presently two floor plans, the 70A with twin beds and the 70X with the convertable sofa in the back. The 70A has the kitchen on the passenger side with a larger 6-7 cu.ft. reefer. The 70X has the kitchen on the driver side with a smaller under-counter unit, about 3 cu.ft.
A new unit is coming soon, the 70C, that has a driver's side slide with the sofa bed and the larger reefer.
I have been lurking around all the forums for some time trying to figure out the best solution for my wife and me. We like the B class, and rented the 70X last Spring. We had a fine time and learned a lot about the plusses and minuses of this unit and the B class. The reefer size worried us, but the size was not nearly so bad as its under counter location... lots of stooping while shuffling things around.
Overall, we loved driving and riding in the Sprinter, figured that with some experience we could get what we need packed in the ERA, found the build quality excellent, did not much like the convertible couch because all entry and exit is at the foot of the bed, found the aisle too narrow for two to pass, and were not crazy about the wet bath. I think I could get used to it, but wife - not so much.
For us the 70A would be better, but the bath is the same as the X. The 70C has a super bath in the back, but the sofa bed in the slide is pretty narrow and has to be made (IMO) while underway.
Just rambling about +/-'s, which is what it's all about for us right now.
Have fun!
