The e450 has worked great for us.

Thanks. In that case I’d be perfectly fine with the E-350 on an Axis 24.1. While the GVWR difference is 2,000 pounds, the E-350 rating is more conservative and also weighs a little less. I’d be OK with loading an E-350 within 1,000 pounds of the E-450. I’m not suggesting overloading in any way, just that there is more wiggle room on E-350 than E-450.
As an example, to me an E-350 Axis at 12,500 pounds can be as safe as an E-450 at 13,500 pounds. In some ways even more so.
