That Lance 1985 is awesome. My wants were the same as the OP's but I was willing to accept the dinette in the Lance instead of the sofa I really wanted, just to have a Lance. However I could not justify the extra cost of the Lance in the long run.
Instead I purchased a new Keystone Passport Elite 23RB. It is 26' and, and far as I am concerned, the perfect layout for a couple. It has a huge kitchen area with lots of counter space and a bar area. Lots of hanging closet space as well as pantry.
To the OP: check out the Keystone Passport 23RB. You won't be disappointed.
Oh yeah, it's an ultra-lite. I pull mine with a Ford F150 half-ton. No issues whatsoever. I use a Husky Centerline TS hitch.
