We liked the following:
-weight (about 1,000 less than other similar models)
-feel/look/quality was good enough
-outdoor kitchen
-2nd door to bathroom
-a little counterspace in the kitchen (compared to some that have little or none)
-counter doesn't cut off living space like a lot of them do so it feels very open
-silverware holders (nice little feature)
-inside storage (it has a lot compared to other models - mainly the pantry next to the fridge)
-the bunkhouse will give our kids (one almost 13) the needed space to "get away" if need be and they have can friends come with too.
The 2013's have some really nice features that the 2012's don't have, too.
Good luck with your decision; it took us almost a year to decide!
