How many people are you planning on having in the HTT? Are these your only options because that's what you've found locally?
The Roo 17 is similar to our old Aerolite 174es and we nearly bought one before we found the Aerolite. It is however even more compact and less roomy than our old HTT or the Roo 19. The Roo 17 replaces the couch with a wall of cabinets, which made Roo 17 claustrophobic. My preference would be the Roo 19. The Spree Escape is nice, but the water tanks are very small. The Roo 19 has more than double the fresh water capacity. However, that may not be a huge deal if you are going to always have full hookups.
If I were looking again for an HTT, I'd seriously consider one of the Jayco models. However, if I were limited to one of those three, I'd choose the Roo 19 simply because of the tank capacities.
I know some folks with a Traverse that tow a Jayco X213 (which is a rear slide TT)...I don't know your actual weight limits (rear axle gross weight, etc.) but that may be an option too if you travel light and don't plan on taking others with you.
