Also like the 25V's cab over bunk and the dash and storage between the front seats. I did notice that you'd have to add lots of options to have a 25V configured as my Vegas (15K A/C, tank heaters, 2 attic fans, 32" TV in bedroom, exterior tv, heated exterior mirrors & rear cameras, outside shower, & second house battery. Don't know what adding all those options would do to the price -- but I still see advantages over the Axis. Also, would not have the windshield worries I have with the Axis' behemoth windshield.

I agree -- everything else being close to equal, it would be a tough choice between Axis 24.1 and Four Winds 25V. Everything you mentioned, plus Ford A/C, wipers, switches, front roll-down windows, lower center of gravity, etc... Minor things like access to battery should be better too, as well as hood locks and hinges. And keeping sun out of windshield is a lot easier and cheaper as well.
The Class A's large and open cab does feel great, but the Class C bunk area over cab can handle so much storage when not needed as a bed. We packed all Christmas gifts in our overhead bunk when traveling to large family reunion. Don't know where we'd put them otherwise in small motorhome ~ available area was close to 80 cubic feet in my C.
On different note: I'd be interested in knowing what Thor placed under the driver-side bed of 25V that intrudes into MegaStorage so much more than does in Axis 24.1. Floorplans are almost identical, so what's different back there? Picture I posted of 25V shows a large difference in storage compartment shape.
