Hey Stan, we're actually on our first trip with our new BH; our first TT. We bought our Jayflight 32BHDS in Oct after spending several months looking hard but a couple of years poking around. Yes, after a while they all look the same; on the surface. We looked at just about every manufacturer and zeroed in on Cougar and Jayco, ultimately going with the Jayco. I was sold on the construction and the willingness for the company to back it up with a 2 year warranty. There is an incredible markup but I feel we got a good deal buying new.
As for the trailer it just depends on how you want to use it. We normally vacation (5 plus days) three times a year and wanted the trailer to meet that demand. Plus the occasional weekend get-a-way. Completely replacing hotels/condos/rental houses. Plus we wanted the option to be able to camp in colder weather (it's gotten in the teens here and nothing's froze). All of that drove the options package we picked.
Your tow vehicle is the next limiting factor. We were lucky in that our desire matched our capability with this regard.
We haven't used all of our options but we have used the electric awning. It was nice to kick out from inside before a light snow started falling to keep the steps from getting ice.
I am very happy with the Jayco on our shakedown trip. No major issues and pleasant suprises on how useful some of the features are.
