Need some opinions. Been looking at a the sterling Eccles 2012 sport 554 today, nice van. But then got looking at the 2011 model sterling Eccles ruby. Layout is the same, as I understand it the finish in the ruby is higher grade though hard to tell but the 2012 swift range all has slip atc better and better water heater. Might be other bits I'm missing but cost of both vans is about the same on deal being offered by my dealer. Love to hear thoughts on which one you would go for, weight is not critical for me with Discovery.

Why not look for a dealer that does Eccles Sport Special Editions.  We have a 514 dealer special on order.  Extra spec for very little on the list price includes:  sunroof, omnivent, pleated blinds, heavy duty steadies, alko jack, upgraded upholstry, alarm etc.  In other words an Eccles Sport with Eccles spec for less cash!

No brainer for us!

Sadly while many dealers offer Swift specials not so many offer Sterling specials.  Fortunately we have Duncans of Waterloo close by.

They do have a challenger dealer special but not the Eccles special edition like you say. Do prefer the Eccles interior.
