Welcome!
We started our search with the same criteria as you. We thought we would end up with a slide or two in either a Newell or XL.... and then a family member offered us our current no slide coach at a price we could not turn down.
After spending months at a time in the coach we found we really are comfortable without slides. Would they be nice to have? Absolutely. Are they necessary for us to be happy and comfortable? Absolutely not.
We also are prone to day trip or weekend in the coach, so no slides can be a plus for us. And then there is the maintenance...
I too love the XL stainless steel look, but didn't like the loss of interior space due to the XL's curved side walls. We also found the Newell interior of the era to be more to our liking.
