Seeing as how you've tent camped before you're aware that tenting, as in HTT's, does not keep out external campground noise (you mentioned wife being a lite sleeper). We run a white noise radio to drown it out. a couple other cons: They are also harder to control the temperature level then hard sided campers, and I'm told more susceptible to humidity.
As far as models, that's totally a personal thing. Do go to the major manufacturers websites and look over what is available and where the nearest dealer is. Chances are a given dealer will only have a few models in stock so a phone call before you travel is in order. Many folks order their trailer, many do not want to wait so take what they can find.
Check the Rockwood Roos, Jayco's, and Starcraft sites. There are others too that I can't think of. As there are only 2 of you stick to a 2 bunk unit, couch and slide out if you prefer the extra space. Other then that they are all pretty similar, in floorplan and quality. Tub/shower size, dinette, and counter space vary, your choice. Most of us use memory foam toppers on the mattresses as they are fairly thin to allow folding up. Another con, you have to make the bed each time you setup.
