From what I've seen of the marketing for the Axis/Vegas it isn't designed for the "Sporty" folks that you're thinking of (people bringing their bikes off-roading, active types, etc.). From the literature its more like a tricked out conversion van to bring the kid to the soccer tournament, baseball tournament, etc. Spend the weekend parked in a school parking lot 100 miles from home watching 3, 4, or more games.
In addition, if you look at the floorplan for the 24.2:
This one, to me, screams: Tailgate party. Look at it: 3 large TVs (2 inside, 1 outside), generous kitchen, no permanent bed space (like the 24.1 has). If I were to regularly tailgate football games in the fall, or baseball games in the summer this is exactly the layout I would want.
