Grand Design vs Mini Winnie plus?

Hello Group, First time travel trailer buyer here and we are struggling on which rig to get. We are between the GD Imagine 2800bh and the Mini Winnie Plus 28bhss both 2020. The GD is $31,995 and the MWP is $26,995. Both are the lowest price I have ever seen on either. We do like the second door and interior color of the GD more than the MWP but honestly I can not say that is worth $5000. I am wondering if anyone could give me their advice on which of these TT are better quality and build. On paper they seem the same but we want to buy a TT that will last and know we will be taken care of if there are any issues.

Regarding weight and tow vehicle I have an f250 diesel so both rigs are well under our capacity.

    Pretty easy decision for me and I have a Grand Design. Nothing special about them at all, just another mass produced trailer.

    Get the Winnie and save the money. You get a Bal Norco frame and not the Lippert frame that's under the Grand Design. You'll get plenty of Lippert junk regardless in both, so don't worry about that.

    You'll get more cheap LED accent lighting with the Grand Design however, including in the exterior $6 speakers.

    "but honestly I can not say that is worth $5000" It's not.

    Yes, I have shopped the dealers within 300 miles of me and these are the best prices. One is also an RV show price.

    have you shopped dealers? I found several thousand dollars in difference from one dealer to another on an even smaller TT.
