Not quite sure why the question was put forth,don't think anyone is here to talk you out of your obvious choice.It is a personal choice.You like the Mirada buy it.You are not comparing quality,just a newer feel like a flat screen TV,etc.
Really, if we used that analogy, everyone would still be driving cars from the 50's and 60's -- because I think we can all agree that cars of that era were built "better" than those of today. At some point, "NEW" does trump "QUALITY"... it is just a matter of when for each individual.
Actually, the question was put forth because I HAVEN'T made a choice. I came on here asking for an education. As one poster mentioned, new RV'ers don't know anything more than what they see. I fall into that category.
Everyone says that the HR is a better vehicle, but very few tell me WHY.
It is like someone saying that a diesel engine is better than a gasoline engine. Depending on the circumstances.. this is true. A diesel engine should last longer and get slightly better miles per gallon and have more power. However, a diesel engine also costs significantly more and combined with the added cost of routine maintenance and higher fuel costs, will not show a significant difference for someone who uses their RV for weekend trips, tailgating at football games, and a once a year weeklong vacation. In THAT case, a gasoline engine is a BETTER choice than a diesel engine.
So again... I am not doubting those who say that the HR is a "better" coach. I am asking "better" in what way so that I can evaluate whether the older coach is worth as much to me as a newer coach.
