To directly answer your question on the Newmar line. Yes, quality increases as you go up the line, NS to DS to MA, in almost everything. Number of coats of exterior paint increases, cabinets improve in wood quality and finish, furniture and their fabrics increase. That said, you really should visit a Newmar dealer or the factory and walk through each model to fully appreciate and "feel" the difference.
When I first decided to buy a diesel pusher I looked at a lot of used coaches on-line and from the pictures really couldn't tell much difference in the lot. then I started going to dealers and looking. Finally, I went to a dealer and looked at a coach they had listed on the internet. Boy, was I disappointed as it was not what I had expected. By chance there was a 1999 Dutchstar parked right next to the one I had come to see. The salesman made some comment that I should really take a look inside. What a difference, the build quality was obvious with well fitting cabinets, quality wood and good furniture. It was quite a bit more than I was planning on spending but by the time I drove home and discussed it with the wife we decided it was the coach we wanted. Bought it that day and never regretted it.
Like the old saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words", but seeing something in person is like reading an entire book. Don't get in a big rush, look, look, look until you find that ONE that you know will fit you.
Good luck in your search.
