Still Looking at 5ers

After spending 6 weeks looking at 5th wheels, I seem to find myself more confused now than when I started.

I think I've overwhelmed that pentium 386 brain of mine

. At any point of confusion, I think I've seen all that I can in my price range. We are toying with a Fleetwood wilderness, and also with a sportsmen. Seem to like the sportsmen floorplan the best, but it's about 6k more money as well. I've been cautioned against "cheap" and "inferior construction" in the Fleetwood, but it appears to be as well made as any of the others. Alot of you had early suggested the Arctic Fox, which we found to be a very nice coach- just a little too nice (immenities) for us. Is there a well made entry level that stands out bett than the rest?? (My wife just says to make up my mind already!!)
