^^A "real" Montana would be good I think. A Montana HC, not so good in my opinion. I've never had them side by side and gone back and forth comparing build quality and features. I would hope a Montana has better cabinets and wood work than our HC. The HC floor has been discussed here. The Montana has supposedly better slide mechanism...hydraulic vs. cable. I think Keystone has done some upgrades on the HC line but they, and the dealers, seem to purposely blur the differences between Montana and HC.
I've mentioned this before but if I was looking for something to live in 24/7 I would look at DRV, Montana, Alpine, or Landmark in that order. If budget was driving my choice I believe I would go used in those brands.
