Water
You can't do without it. You don't want to limit yor travels by it... 3 day trips are OK unless you'd like to stay 5.
I purposely ingnored the brands as I read your post...
I ignored the positive aspects
I took the negatives very seriously.
one negative will make you unhappy every time you use the camper
==============
For me... (everyones needs are different)
A functioning Floor plan is essential... how easy is it to use. If it has slides make the dealer put the slides in when you are looking... I insist on being able to open the door and go into the bathroom, the fridge, and the cabover... without openning a slide.
But: Water capacity is the most essential thing... small tanks ( I'd personally look for 40 gal minimum)
Black tanks are essential... 25 gallons... two adults can get 5 to 7 days
Grey water tanks... are usually OK... but 3 minute showers are the norm.
I have found that the 6 cuft fridge is prefered... with freezer.
Micro wave... essential.. I don't go out in my TC to cook... nuc Lean Cusine out of the freezer... and a salad out of the fridge
A built in generator solves a lot of problems (no fuel cans, security, and push button convienence)
A minimum of two propane tanks (I have 30# tanks... like them, but can't do a tank exchage at a convienence store.
A standard mattress is essential... fitted sheets will work... neat beds make the camper look and feel better.
+++++++++++++++++
I don't think that there is $10,000 difference in any comparible TC's out there... maybe between 3 slides and no slide.
Certainly not between three different 9' TCs with no slides. The appliances all cost the same....
Good luck wiyjh you decission...
Happy 4th
