I like the narrow width, no slide, and light weight, but the 9 gallon black tank is a deal breaker for a lot of people. Anything smaller than 15-gallons is a real limiting factor unless you will always have full hookups. Even with full hookups most people don't just have the gate valve open on the black tank because it doesn't work that well. You usually let the black tank fill at least half way and then open the gate valve so there is enough pressure to clear the slinky. So with such a small tank you will be doing that every other day at least.
The 15-gallon gray tank will also be difficult. A single shower uses at least 3-5 gallons. 2 showers and you are 2/3 full. With full hookups you can leave that gate valve open, but without you will be driving to the dump station regularly.
We are going on our 3rd RV now and looking back we didn't really know what was important to us until we were on our 2nd. Best thing you can do is try to figure out how you will use it and get something that has NO deal breakers for you. Take your time and enjoy the hunt.
