I think it's fair to say if you plan on getting any of the heavier triple slides you should really consider jumping over the 450/4500 class and go right to the 550/5500 class. A number of people have done so here and been very happy.

You can carefully look at the specifications but they will not indicate low points. Hitting your head all of the time in the AC isn't going to be fun. The new, 2017, Arctic Foxes have gone to a "barrel" ceiling which may help you.
Slides do make a big difference in living space. If you are going to spend much time in them I would highly recommend one with a slide for the two of you.
