If you want a smaller TT, have deep pockets and want something to last, look at Oliver. Someone on this forum posted about one they recently ordered.
If I were looking again, I'd be starting with Outdoors RV or Nash, but don't particularly like some of the design features on Nash that I've seen (like pass-through door is on the small side). One good feature with both these is that their frame is heavy duty off-road and built in-house by Nash and comes with higher-rated axles. Having a non-Lippert frame would desireable to me.
I would go to an RV show and spend lots of time crawling under TTs and looking at how things are put together inside.
Also, I would look into the dealer "quality" that you'd be buying from and see what you can find out. They range from outstanding to terrible and if you get a terrible one, an otherwise excellent RV can become a nightmare if things go wrong. The first dealer we had 3 TTs ago was a nightmare, while our current one is great. Some manufacturers/plants are also better than others.
