Are you sure of that? Hallmark certainly did NOT have a basement when I was looking (but that was 10 years ago). From a quick look at their website, the Cuchara and Ute models don't seem to have a basement.
I agree that both are high quality -- but I wanted the Outfitter basement, with bigger tanks.
You may be right. I read somewhere that Hallmark was introducing a basement model in 2007, but I haven't been able to find any evidence that it actually happened. My outfitter has batteries, tanks, heating ducts, plumbing and wiring in the basement. One advantage to a basement is that it makes the entry door a little taller.
