Grand Design vs Jay Feather

I do not like the walk thru bathroom. Sort of leaves one stuck in the bedroom if someone is dressing or showering in the bathroom.
The GD 2450 RL to me is has more use able floor plan with no inconvenience to either person or persons using the bathroom. The only thing I do not care for on the GD 2450 RL is the way the Theater seat protrudes out blocking much usable counter space. The 2500 RL has no hanging closet space other than the hers and hers on each side of the bed. Whereas the 2450 RL like the Jayco has a nice size hanging closet in the bedroom , plus the hers and hers beside the bed.The Jayco has 27 RL has more storage in the bathroom that the GD 2500 RL or 2450 RL, but the walk thru bathroom is still an no, no to me.
None offer remote control power slides,stabilizer jacks and awing.
Jayco offers Good Year Endurance as option-able tires.I would want E series tires, NOT D series. The aluminum steps are nice, but on the 2500 RL with 2 doors the steps stick inside so you would need to extend the main entrance steps as well as the bedroom door steps,as they would stick out into the living /bedroom area when up. Also depending on your trailer storage area or storage yard, these steps could create a entry problem as there would be no room to extend them to enter, as trailers are generally park very close together. Jayco 2 year warranty is a plus you don't see with any other mfg. and they do a good job honoring it.
Just pointing out a few observations after owning 3 new ravel trailers since 2011, but it all coming down to what you think you can live with.

X2 - and the other thing that makes the GD 2450 RL a better pick is that the refer is not in a slide. My Refer is in the slide and I had to do some mods to keep it cool in the hotter summer months. A refer that vents through the roof is a much better option - unless you have a residential.
