Mtpocket2, it seems many times we wish we'd gone bigger. More often than not, a trade involves going larger. Not always but most of the time.
I would think the slide would provide a better resale value, assuming the rig is in good to excellent condition in both cases.
Bottom line to me is do you like both models equally well? Regardless of resale, regardless of size, you are going to spend time in it for as long as you own it. Will you be happy with your decision?
Good luck. I hope you have many years of enjoyment from whichever you get.
See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!
