I liked the cottonwood too. There are a few things I wish they hadn't changed but overall I think the 2018 has too many pros vs cons to not get the 2018.
I'm after a 375BHFS. I actually talked to a rep at the factory directly, it seemed to be the only way I could get any info. They aren't even sure what all is a full change or if things can be changed up. The rep is going to get back to me.
One thing I'm very happy about is the 2018 375 will come with two AC units standard, and a third in the rear bunk room as an option. And as mentioned before on this thread, the older style steps are available.
The other things I asked for was a reclining sofa, specifically the same as what came in the 2015 375 Eagle Premier, which was very comfortable. I wanted the matching recliners too. The sofa and recliners in the 2016-2017 north point are not nearly as comfortable, have very narrow arm rests and the sofa pulls out into a bed. I told him the largest Bunkhouse model they have hardly needs a pullout bed in the sitting room. A bit of comfort would be much higher on the list.
A 5500 or 6000 LP fueled onan generator with the smart controller, which can self start/stop when boondocking should the batteries get low or if the the temperature rises to high in the trailer and needs the AC. I plan to put a super sized solar system and a 6 bank lithium battery pack, so what was available for room for batteries in the generator compartment.
Last but certainly not least, I also asked if they would use bigger holding tanks (like from the seismic) or double up on what they already have on that model.
There were a few other little things but weren't too much of a big deal.
He said he would find out from his engineering department and try and track down the older furniture style as they may even have some replaceables in inventory.
All in all I'm very happy with the customer service. I hope the dealer is half as good.
Here's a picture of the Eagle Premier sofa (cottonwood trim).

I really liked the cottonwood from 17
