XLR 27HFS maybe something to look at around same size, gives you a bit more room with the slide and seperate garage, however shower not as nice. I think some real prices on those are not too far above at all where yours is at. I walked through the 29HFS but no further experience than that. You lose some weight carrying capacity, but I think you gain a bit of garage space and ramp door height. It also only comes standard with one bed, but you might not need the couches in this scenario as you have the seating and table in main room.
Forest River does offer the extra year of warranty for like 130 bucks or something like that, cant recall the details but can find if you search.
Mind you this is coming from a guy with little use of my Carbon 33 yet, but I looked and shopped around a lot. We have more kids so were looking for a bit bigger one.
