Both models are made by Forest River (mediocre build quality on a good day), and both models have slideouts (which add a lot of weight and mechanical complexity).
A few other brands to consider with better reputations for build quality:
Bigfoot
Casita
Escape
Scamp
If you're feeling spendy, also take a look at Oliver.
Spendy indeed. The OP said ready to buy in the next 6 months. I doubt any of those brands listed will be found new just sitting on a dealers lot and if they are you can bet it will be for top dollar. I would bet there are production waiting lists at all of them for ordering. They're few and far between on the used market also, and they're always priced out of sight. So unless the OP has lots of time and money, or is extremely lucky, I'd say those brands are not on his radar, nor are the prices.
