I looked at both 3 years ago when I was trying to do my homework. The Palomino did not impress me. I was willing to spend decent money to get a well built TC with good fit and finish. I had previous RVs so I was in a postition to kinda know what to look for. I wanted this purchase to last me for years with the least amount of issues and problems, and I wanted something as well constructed as I could get. The Lance TC was much better built, but as you said it was more money. When you buy quality you will pay for it. I was leaning seriously towards the Lance, thats until I expanded my search I stepped into the Arctic Fox 1140. The rest is history.
