I do think "entry level" has a tad bit of snobiness to it. Maybe it's just my interpretation. My cousin and DH in Houston had a KZ "entry level" that served them extremely well for nearly 10 years. They recently sold it, got a nice price for a well maintained trailer and are starting their search for a replacement. Whether valid or not, her DH feels like the aluminum siding holds up better in the extreme Houston weather. Don't know, don't care. It's their trailer. There are lots of folks that appear to feel that if you don't have at the very least a 30' trailer, you are just not with the program. Don't know, don't care. We were happy with our HTT because it suited us and we're happy with our 2604 for the same reason. Buy what you like, what suits your needs. Folks who would consider your trailer to be "less" than theirs, you don't need around anyway. Happy Camping!
