Newbie Comparison question

Hello,

Newbie here, not only too the forum but to TT's as well. We have narrowed down our search (half the battle) and are considering two different brands. I've researched the snot out of both BUT I am still coming up short based on user/owner opinions, reliability, where the trailer sits on the hierarchy of the styles...fit and finish, pros/cons...

The two we are really considering are:

2014 Forest River Wildcat Maxx 26BHS with slide
2015 Dutchmen Kodiak Express Ultra Lite 25BHS with slide

My TV is an '02 F250 PSD so weight isn't too big of an issue.

TIA

Sean
