I priced it at the Toronto rv show in the spring from a dealer in Stratford Ontario Canada, but since then I purchased a camplite 10.0 from a dealer in Ottawa Canada less than the northern lite a little heavier though but I just purchased a 1 ton dually so the extra weight does not matter now, it was the sportsman model I believe a little shorter in height and no basement for a long box, they make them for both long or short box, about the same price though
Looking around some more the Northern Lite campers on RV Trader (and other sites) are the more expensive models, not the Sportsman model. So it is difficult to find the actual price of a Sportsman from web searches. Best I found was a site listing "MSRP Starting from $36100 CDN" for a Sportsman 9.6. So probably what you saw was an already discounted show price.
So you chose the Camplite. The Camplite 8.6 (seems identical to what you bought except 2 feet shorter) is my current top contender. Why did you go with the Camplite rather than Northern Lite?
A concern I have about Camplite is that I have seen posts with people saying they just bought a Camplite, but I have yet to find any discussion by someone who has had one for a while to get a longer term opinion. I like the Camplite features but it concerns me that from listening to discussion it seems not many people own these compared to other brands.
How do you like yours so far?
