We didn't upgrade but I will give you my opinion nontheless:
workmanship: improving.
storage: good, especially under the bed but also in kitchen and bath areas.
handling: very good as axle is way back making it heavy on the hitch. Typically 620#. You will need a WDH, but sway control may not be required if your TV has enough wheelbase.
tightness: I needed to spray expanding foam into quite few bottom holes and all along the rear wall to floor boundary. At Everglades N.P. (lots of skeeters) had to adjust the screen door to fit tighter. Otherwise fine.
Electrical: there are two outlets under the bed, one on each side.
We spent a month on the road this summer and will be in Florida for two periods of 6 weeks each. The Elkmont has been fine for that.
