I agree Jax, Gjac, Bruce, Ron.. I would buy the floorplan that works for you , its about comfort bc this is our fun time hobby.
I would miss the overhead bed in case we need it as well as the addition storage. Look at the way we spend out time each day. 1/3 is sleeping, so a comfy place to sleep is important. 10 mins each day in a shower is a little less important. I can get by with a little smaller shower to have a full 60x80 QB.
I agree Ron, about 10% difference is a good ballpark difference. I like the aerodynamics of the PC and other rvs like it for crosswind/headwind handling reasons but not for the mpg difference.
It reminds me of all the AirTab vortex rv and OTR trucker threads that say it's a minimal mpg difference. Even if it was as much of a 10% difference for rv use where most of drive 5000 mi each year, It's not worth thinking about it. Its one 55 gal tank of fuel difference each year to run 5000 rv miles.
For OTR trucking companies running a millions of miles on a fleet of trucks is worth thinking about aerodynamics , its a business not a hobby.
