I would lean in the direction of the coach that pleases you most in terms of how you see yourselves using it. Is there a place for the stuff you want to take with you, for your hobbies.
Both coaches are excellently built and, if in similar starting condition, likely to have similar maintenance costs.
Recently I called Newell for some help with wiring of the transmission on my 93 coach. The people that new what I needed had retired and no one presently knew what I needed to know. I did the necessary research and following wires and learned what I needed to know. With a Prevost coach I suspect, but do not know for sure, that documentation would have been available to cover my situation. Still, it's a tradeoff because a Newell will be cheaper than a Prevost conversion of the same year and number of slides. It's not because Newell is a lesser coach, just different. That brings me back to my original premise; find a coach that pleases you both and go enjoy it without worrying about the comparison with the alternative. Comparison is the enemy of contentment.
