"Smaller" Rear Entertainment Floorplan w/ 2 Slides

Well it took a lot of time and research to find something that I reall really liked, but I finally discovered some slightly older rear entertainment floor plan campers with 2 opposing slides. I'm wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for travel trailers with similar specs and layouts. These are the 2 models I found that most appropriately accommodate my desires. The Tracer 2700RES is a bit shorter, a bit lighter, and also includes part of the kitchen in the slideout, so I'm leaning toward that option right now, I just want to see what else is out there.

1) 2012/13 Prime Time Tracer 2700RES

2) 2014 Cruiser Fun Finder 267RES

Requirements:
-As close to 30' Overall length as possible, so 26-27' "Box Size" (No 30 or 32' Box Sizes)
-Lowest possible dry weight, probably around 6000lbs or so
-Center Entrance, rather than 2 at each end.
-Opposing slideouts, preferably including part of the kitchen.
-Mega/Grand Dinette would be ideal

May edit the list to add things in the near future. Again, I'd just like to see what else is out there/

    Sounds like our Outback 252urs.
    Huge rear entertainment.

    I'm wondering why you prefer the center entrance rather than doors on either end of the RV. I much prefer the two door models primarily because that arrangement gives you an exit from the bedroom in case of fire. I really cannot see someone bailing out through a window, even if the window is large. A second exit/entrance is also very handy for loading the rig for a trip.

    Our trailers have always had two doors and we have found they do not interfere with the floorplan at all. The rigs have had rear bedrooms in each case. Our present rig has a front kitchen with the door just about in the middle of the trailer. The bedroom in the rear also has its' own door. If you have a front bedroom then a rear door would give you an easy exit from the entertainment area. I'm not familiar with any manufacturer that makes that arrangement however.

    Just something to consider as you look for your new RV. Good hunting! :)
