Someone on our site has one, its a lovely van, identical layout to the Lexon 640 we had.  Its a fantastic 2 berth luxury van.  Okay, it might sleep 4, just dont encourage visitors!

We have just ordered a new Sterling Searcher, looked at the Explorer too, which has the island bed, there was more room round it than in the Bailey. In the end we decided to go for the larger end bathroom and the side fixed double. 

 Sterling have gone back to parallel seating in most of their vans, which is what we wanted, but you are looking for the L-shape.   I think the L-shape looks nice, but is not so practical.  They are also using the Alde heating, which is reckoned to be very good.  The 2 door fridge/freezer is great.

I think you are right when you say the 2008 Baileys are not as good as the 2006s in many ways.
