The differences are a lot more than bells and whistles, the Swift is lighter construction, inside and out, and under.
TTs have a number of different construction methods (Jayflight and Jayflight Swift are stick-built atop a "wood" floor) and each method permits some lightening at the expense of durability or structural strength.
Whether or not type of construction, or weight of construction, is a big deal depends on what is important to you: cost, weight, durability, and how you expect to use the RV, in what seasons. I know people who have had RVs for 15 years and have never used their furnace, because if it is that cold, they don't take the thing out. So for them, furnace ducting, floor insulation, heating under the floor, are irrelevant. But if you want to be warm in the winter, some of these details are a big deal.
