You have probably opened up the door for owners of other brands to tout their specific buying choice. You asked about Keystone and keystoneforums.com would be a good place to get feedback from actual product owners. In general, take a look at the specs for each model you are interested in. Higher end trailers tend to be heavier due more substantial construction materials. This is true with most manufacturers. The correct line of a manufacturer's fifth wheel to purchase kind of depends on what type camper you are. We are weekend warriors; camp about once or twice a month on weekends and our Cougar suits us well. If we were living in the RV or camping for extended periods. a heavier and larger 5th wheel might be more appropriate. Also avoid looking at manufacturer product slogans like "1/2 ton towable" and "four season" and terms like this as they are not accurate and you need to research these things before buying. I also don't buy new RVs as the depreciation is horrible and if you don't like a floorplan a year after buying and attempt to sell or trade, you will be way upside down in value. Also keep in mind that almost all trailer manufacturers buy their frames, suspensions, appliances and just about everything else that goes into building the trailer from the same pool of manufacturers. Keep in mind also that price doesn't mean the construction quality will be better. When they change lines of trailers construction in the factory, the same guys will be building the cheap trailers as the top of the line. Good luck.
