Welcome to IRV2.com, cloudwalker! As you can see, we have a 3412 on order so can't speak to "experiences" yet, nor can we speak to dealers in the Northeast. The 3412 has only been out for just over a year so there aren't that many out there yet. If you do a search on this forum using "3412" you'll find a couple of posters who have that floorplan in either the regular Ventana or the Ventana LE variant, including mikeward_aa, who will hopefully respond.
We were deciding between the 3412, the 3436, or the Tiffin Allegro RED 33AA which has basically the same floorplan as the 3412. We ended up choosing the 3412 due to the many windows in the front living area and the great kitchen set up. The downside from all the windows is the lack of storage space up front. The 3436 has a good deal more storage inside. The other downside (as you have no doubt noticed) is the smaller bathroom compared with the 3436.
The Tiffin RED 33AA by comparison felt more closed in due to the lack of windows up front. We also didn't like the TV mounted on the wall at 90 degrees from the sofa as opposed to Newmar's use of a televator directly across from the sofa. Lastly, Newmars somehow manage to have a flat floor in the bedroom but Tiffins have a "dog house" in the bedroom which makes it awkward to use the rear closet and to get around the bed.
We have worked with a great dealer in Southern California, but were offered between 25 and 28% off list by each of the three western dealers we contacted. I would expect you could do the same in the NE.
Good luck with your purchase decision!
