The inaccessible bath without opening the slide a bit was a big concern, too but not entirely a deal breaker.
Just so you know, when I looked at the Lance 1575 a month ago, the salesman told me to just open the slide a few inches to access the head. I remember reading (here on rv dot net, I believe) that opening the Schwintek slide just part way was a big no-no.
So, I emailed Schwintek, and after the exchange of many emails, I was told that the slide must go ALL THE WAY OUT, and then all the way back in in order to keep the motors aligned (I think that was the word). You cannot just put it out for a few inches in order to access your bathroom and then bring it back in.
Hence, for me, the deal breaker.
ON EDIT: here is a cut of two emails received from Schwintek service:
if you stop the slide prematurely the motors will unsynchronize and then you will have to reset them manually each time you stop.
The motors must run to full extension and allow the controller to stop them. If not, one side may operate while the other does not know what to do.
AND ANOTHER:
I pretty much explained that below. if you do not allow the room to fully extend to allow controller to stop it, you will experience difficulties and need to manually reset the control
That seems like a lot of work for a quick potty break...
