I think most People agree with the rear radiator comment too, but, having had three rear rads so far, I really don't know how big a deal that is for me? And I know how much you can really buy a Tour for and it's allot less than a Bus?
FWIW - my '07 42' Bus came with 8 AGM batteries (Spartan chassis). The Freightliners came with 6 AGMs. That's they way they came with residential fridges. Possibly the Busses with Notsocold propane/electric fridges came with 4 but I can't verify that.

I forgot to add "Phaeton" after "Tiffin" in my post by the way. Our 42' Phaeton had 4 flooded batteries and propane. All electric was not an option in '08 for the Phaeton (tag). The Bus we saw at the show had 4 AGM house batteries and 2 AGM chassis batteries but was not all electric. As I said, I believe they have changed that now?

That looks like a dealer ad. Actually, I see nothing wrong with it. Of course we know he's promoting what he sells but if what he is saying is true and they mean something to you, it's good to know.
Tiffen dealers should do the same thing , saying whats better about theirs.
