For the SLX vs Flight, the SLX is the lower of the two models. Has a lower gvwr, less standard features, less options & interior color choices from what I recall. Both are stick and tin built as mentioned. Holding tanks may be slightly smaller in the SLX vs the comparable Flight, can't remember.
So far we are happy with our Flight 32 BHDS. One of the things we liked was ccc and the 2 yr warranty. Though I have learned that you can add a 2nd yr to a Forrest River product for $150. BUT, I still would have looked closely at the ccc. For comparison, one trailer we considered (same floor plan as our 32 BHDS) had a gvwr of about 9500lbs, BUT the axles were only 4400lbs!!!! So to gain the additional gvwr over the combined axle rating, some of the tw was added in that will be "carried" by the tv. Our trailer has 2-5k oh axles for a 9975lb (or so) gvwr. So consider everything when shopping different brands, or even models of the same brand!!!
