It has all the features recommended in FormerBoater's post, except the independant front suspesion. Would I have liked IFS, yes. Will I miss it, I doubt it. The only DP I've driven was a beam axle, and I intentionally sought out a very rough section of highway to take it over, at highway speed. I found it very acceptable in its performance; I'm not loosing any sleep over it.
One advantage to a beam axle, it's dirt simple, far fewer bushings and joints to be serviced and eventually needing replacement. The king pin's can last virtually forever, given proper service.

Jay and Peggy,
I am sure your 2011 Revolution LE will ride like a dream.
It is good news that they will be part of the American Coach product line.
My input to Sherri regarding IFS is really about "vintage" older DP's w/o tag axles and the benefit of IFS in a non-tag coach is the stability it gives you when passing/being passed by OTR buses and semi's plus stability in cross winds.
I do not think your Revolution LE will be affected by any of these
