Is 700 lbs really important?

I have tried to read all the posts on this board that had anything to do with weights and towing capacities, etc. I must admit I have come to the conclcuion that my feet a firmly planted in mid air. Here is the issue. Trying to decide on a Montana 5th wheel to buy. 3400RL or 3475RL. The only real reason the 3475RL is being considered is that it is 700 lbs lighter well and maybe a little more walk around room but not sure about that yet.

The real question is: Will my 2003 F250 Lariat 7.3 Diesel Super Cab Long bed (42K miles) with all the heavy duty towing, spring and tire options be overloaded on the road with the 3400RL vs the 3475RL? Am I fencing with windmills or will the 3475RL really offer a weight advantage that puts me safely inside the 13,000 lb towing capacity rating and will the 3400RL really cause problems if I am over the 13,000 lbs a slight bit?

Please help us with some ideas on how to get through this simple but complex issue? Any help would be appreciated.
