As some else above said, "Floor layout was more important to me" ... for us also.
But I never really noticed the design of the roof on our Outback until I got it home and decided to wash the roof the first time. That's when I really noticed. I knew it was a rounded roof, and I knew it was rubbeer, but what I did not really notice at the sales lot was the rubber actually comes over the side of the camper.
If you look in the photo below, you can see the rubber roof actually comes over the sides (and arched top) This means the water cannot stand on the roof anywhere. This greatly impressed me. I guess I picked a good camper and didn't even realize it!
