I would go with the non-slide.
My reasoning:
I go camping not RVing;
The places I camp are not set up to have the outdoor space up next to the RV - so an awning isn't really useful;
The places I go camping may not have the room to extend a slide;
I don't watch TV when I camp.
I agree with others that a TV can be easily added if desired.
The length difference isn't enough to be an issue.
So, unless the weight restriction is an issue, I would suggest spending time in each one and "act out" a day in the RV. Have everyone who will be traveling in it do a morning routine, pretend to make a meal, and so on. Go with the RV that is most comfortable for that. Do it with the slide in and the slide out - some folks want to be able to leave the slide in at times, if you will want to, that can be a dealbreaker.
