I am thinking I may try and find a true B model. I guess, at the end of the day, I can't have a roomy interior and compact exterior. Damn laws of physics, I curse thee.
One thing to be aware of - most B manufacturers lower the floor in the Chevy chassis so you get more headroom. This results in lower ground clearance.
Many have less than six inches of clearance - important to know if you plan to drive off road.
Having had both a Sprinter B and a Chevy B - I like the Chevy much better. More power, much more reliable, easier to find parts, and less expensive to repair (when needed).
As for beds, the Roadtrek 190 with the twin rear beds gives you room to stretch out without sleeping on the floor.
As for tables - if traveling along, don't use the peg in the floor table. Too much trouble to set up and take down. Just get a folding TV dinner table from Walmart. It's easy to use and can be stashed behind the driver's seat.
