I traded in our 2005 Pleasure-way Plateau for a 2011 Great West Van Legend. The ride is much better. The engine is much quieter especially on acceleration. The cab is quieter. You can actually listen to your radio. The seats are more comfortable. The steering wheel is adjustable and more auto like. The cab interior has more amenities for item storage. It feels more finished and polished as you would expect in a Mercedes Benz.
Keep in mind many of the converters completely rebuild the cab seats with different padding and fabric or ultra-leather. I don't know if any use the MB seats in their stock condition. I could drive all day comfortably in both models.
What Davydd says about the differences is what I've heard from all the owners/drivers of both the T1N and the NCV3 models that I've asked the question.
I know the 2013 van we just bought sure runs and drives better than the 2008 chassis we had prior to it. The 2008 was a chassis/cab class c rv. That probably made some differences in itself though.
No big deal a about the DEF fluid addition, about 2 gallons every 4k miles. Available a lot of places.
