My suggestion is to go to an RV show or a dealer that has both and look closely at BOTH at the same time and make a decision. I've gone to multiple RV shows and compared all the brands and came to the conclusion that the Jayco was the best value for my money. I looked at the Coachman's and I just didn't like them as much.
You can upgrade your latches on the Jayco to slam latches, you can get fiberglass siding on the Jayco for about $1300. At the end of the day, you need to find what YOU like and enjoy the camper from there! Another option is the Jayco White Hawk 24RBS. That has a large bathroom, decent size bedroom and a small slideout for the couch. It comes standard with slam latches and fiberglass siding. Its likely a little more expensive than the JayFlight, but still less expensive than the Coachman.
I just sold my 98 Nash 22H that had a VERY similar floorplan to the 23RB. I LOVED the layout of that camper!
One word of wisdom about the composite walls... They are still sitting on a wood floor. If you have a leak, it won't damage the wall per se, but that water will just keep falling down and rot out the floor and cause structural issues there. I can't find any mention of the roof construction on the Apex, but I assume that is wood too.
