I wonder if the numbers look the same for Cornerstone v Anthem? I tend to doubt it as I think the Cornerstone is more widely appreciated.

Tom, the best thing about the Mountain Aire is the name. Living out here in the Mountain time zone it would seem only fitting for us to be cruising around in a Mountain Aire.
The problem is that by the time you pop the extra money to go from a Dutch Star to a Mountain Aire, you're not all that far away from the cost of a London Aire. The London Aire name isn't anywhere near as appealing as the Mountain Aire (unless you like foggy dreary days), but the London Aire is a worthy competitor to the Entegra Cornerstone, while the Mountain Aire lands somewhere between an Anthem and a Cornerstone.
I have a similar problem with the Newmar Essex and even the King Aire, both of which are more expensive than a London Aire but don't provide a whole lot more motorhome unless glitz and CBR (Campground Bragging Rights) are high on your list of must-haves.
Just my two cents; others may have differing opinions.
