Great list Steve.
Additions:
In 1972 Newell built a Chauffeur Special by extending a 30' coach 12" and adding a second bedroom with an exterior door, a bed and a wet bath with a toilet in the shower stall.
#214, a 1990 model, was the first Series 2000, delivered in April 1989. Beginning with 214, the last 3 numbers of the VIN was the coach number
#279, a 1992 model, was one of the few Newells built with an Allison Transmission Retarder
First all electric Newell was around #316, a 1993 model, built for the Steve Miller Band
First Series 60 Newell was around #363, a 1994 model
Beginning with #388, a 1995 model, all Newells came with a surge-protection system
#440, a 1997, was the second Newell built with a slide
#507, a 1999, is the last Newell I am aware of without a slide
#645, a 2003 model, was the first Newell built with Valid electric slides
#671 (as Steve listed), 681, 685 were the first three Newells with steerable tag axles
#688, a 2004 model, was the first EGR-equipped Newell. All Detroit Diesel powered Newells after this had EGR valves.
#695, a 2004 model, was the first Newell with Spyder Controls although the multiplex (single wire) system didn't occur until #1293
#776, the first P2000i was a 2006 model completed 8/1/2005
#1230, a 2008 model, was the first coach Newell built with upgraded standard equipment front and tag tires from Michelin XZA-2 315/80R22.5 to Michelin XZA 365/70R22.5 Coaches from 443, a 1997, through 1229 can be upgraded
#1249, a 2008 model, first Newell that required ULSD
#1251, a 2009 model, from here on, all Newells use ULSD
#1292, a 2010 model, was the first ZF rear suspension with the anti-sway bar, earlier ZF suspensions can be upgraded
#1293, a 2010 model, was the first Newell with the Spyder Controls MUTIPLEX system
#1460, a 2013 model, is the only VIP Business coach built by Newell to date, may be the last Newell with only one slide unless someone special orders another one.
#1466, a 2013 model, was one of the first Newell with the 2020P front and rear caps
