The Entegra Anthem is not in the same league as the Newmar King Aire.
If you want an apples to apples comparison, you have to look at the Entegra "Cornerstone" and compare it to the King Aire.
The Anthem has a Spartan Mountain Master chassis while the Cornerstone and King Aire have the Spartan K3 Chassis. There is a huge difference between the two. 600 HP ISX vs. 450 HP, 200 gallon fuel tank vs. 150, Passive steer tag (newmar only) vs fixed, Allison 4000 transmission vs 3000, Air leveling vs not. and on and on.

If you have any questions about the King Aire or the K3 chassis, that's my area of expertise.
You know what? You're right. I realized that after going back through and looking at the specs. I also started looking at used (a year or two old) and I can get an upgraded version for what a mid-grade new version would cost in some models. This stuff makes my head spin sometimes so I don't know how you guys mastered the RV buying experience but I admire it.
I think I'm going to stick with getting my specs down and finalizing what I need and what the wife wants, the budget, floor plan, etc and then look for the best deal. That's the name of the game, right?!
