Looks really nice, though I don't like the doors.  But it's 18 feet long
instead of fifteen, 7,000# gross weight vs 5,000+,  138" wheelbase instead
of 97, and 47 foot turning circle instead of 35.  It's really a much
different animal.  The additional comfort would be great, but I wouldn't
swap it for the additional overhead. [And it's ugly-ugly instead of
cute-ugly...]
