I'd stay away from both due to the fact they will require deep pockets of $$$$ to deal with the issues they have.
Just my two cents......

They are stunning buses.
Probably hopelessly impractical for extended touring, but they are gorgeous.

I suppose the only thing is they might be harder to raise the roof on one of those.. basement space would be much different to work with but nevertheless istill wouldnt mind having one.

As cool looking as Crowns are, I'm really only interested in them because of the running gear. An 855 Cummins would be awesome.
I wish Crown had built some short buses. I'd have one already if they did.

Probably a few decimal points. Ticos always start way high in negations. especially if they think a gringo might be a buyer.
