You indicate these 2 but give no explanation on who will be using and how. Both could be good but its up to you to decide. We bought a 1 year old winnebago aspect in '13. got it used for about 30K less than a dealer wanted for the exact same one. 2 slides, weighs in about 12700 as we load light and DO NOT CARRY full water tank which many also do not unless they plan to go off the grid. full fuel and propane are all that is ever topped off so the weight issue can be a non issue. Neither of the 2 you look at as far as I know have lots of storage space thus again the limiting of extra weight. If just the 2 of you go with the one with slides as you will enjoy it more, if you dont want slides go with the other. yes you can exist without them but once committed you may wish you had them if you take the cruise one. Mileage on running gear is the only plus I really see. I have seen where some of these rentals go and I would be very hesitant to really pursue one. Some think they are 4x4's and since not theirs its OK.
But I have also found NEW on lot with issues from build quality and if you are willing to take chance on some repairs look for one of these which generally are price leaders on sales events.
As stated look at the approximate costs for tires, driveline fixes (trans fluid changes, brake fluid flush etc) things you would do to have piece of mind. But in reality get what suits you the best and you are the only one that knows what that would be.
