4 to 6 additional feet "is" a big deal to some, including me.
We travel primarily to national parks, national monuments, national forests, and BLMs. An extra 4 to 6 feet would be challenging.
Another question is whether or not mobility outweighs interior comfort. If you like to setup camp and stay put for a while, then longer is better. But if you are on the move often, shorter is better.
ADDING: I should have also mentioned that our 24 footer accommodates just the two of us. We are seniors with a rear corner double bed and it works for us. But it's not for everyone. If you are a senior with limitation, an easy access bed is very important, and that is found only in longer units. A lot of senior couples appreciate twin beds which can be found in mid lengths around 25-27 feet. If we had a family of 4 or more, then a longer unit like camperdave just bought is going to provide a lot more needed space of all kinds.
