All RV's have their issues so one brand over another is subjective however as we are talking Montana's here we are talking same manufacturer. Comparison wise they are two different beasts designed for two different uses. 3 Season vs 4 Season and right now Florida is cold as heck, our electric fireplace is keeping our Montana toasty warm without use of the furnace, I can almost guarantee if we had the HC we would need alternative heating appliances and or use of the furnace due to the construction differences. So the question you need to ask yourself is what use are you planning, what accessories do you want/need (hydraulic leveling/slides vs not) and also what finish's you want. That should assist the decision, just remember there is a reason you can buy a HC for $15,000 to $20,000 less than a Montana... at least in Canada that is the difference....

Yes, there are differences. Not as many as you suggest. Fireplaces have a small btu difference, I prefer the 6 point electric over hydraulic, both a "zero rated" ~ check the insulation in both to see why, both are full time rated, most HC now have the 12" frame, Most have the 7000# Dexter axels and the same wheels, but HC has a cheaper tire. Main AC is the same but 2nd is 13.5 instead of 15K both are ducted. There are differences that cause a price difference. The reason I went with the HC is because Montana did not have the floor plan we wanted.
