I bought a '17 21QB Flight not SLX. I traded in a '12 19RD, which I was happy with, but hated the bed, very hard to make it with only about three foot of one side open to work with.
I looked at the SLX line, and it would have worked, except for one big exception, the FWT capacity. I do an annual week boondock, and need the 90 gallons I get with the Flight. Its one of the main reasons I stayed with Jayco, not many have that big of tanks on a smaller trailer.
Everyone has different requirements, I know campers that have never put water in the tanks, they only go to places with water hookups. And the same goes with electricity, I think some don't know that the trailers are equipped to be used without it. I could go on....
I was surprised how much more advanced the '17 was over the '12. LED lights, which I did myself in the old one, solar hookups, larger fridge, etc. But, the main thing was the bed was open on three sides!
Good luck on whatever you go with.
