Our 2006 Jayco Eagle 308FBS is the same floor plan but the 320 has the bedroom slideout. It's pretty much my wife and I with our youngest daughter along some of the time. I agree, the 320 is excellent for 2 adults. If I would have waited another year I would have bought this model, but in 2 years they'll probably have something I like even more. Oh well, our 308fbs is perfect so far.

Stopped by my local Jayco dealership a couple of days ago and did a "curiosity" look-see of this (link) new Eagle TT floorplan. Just a couple of things that I noticed:
a) The front bedroom slide provides a lot of "walk around" room, and the slide depth (36") is the same as the living/kitchen slide. The front wardrobe is similar to that of a fifth wheel.
b) The bathroom sink sits back far enough that it's view is block from the kitchen/living room.
c) The window at the dinette is larger/taller (more light in), they moved the overhead dinette cabinet to over the large rear window.
d) Added a pantry next to the frig.
e) Flat screen TV is mounted on the chest, and swivels. However, to accommodate the swivel the TV mounting takes up a lot of usable chest top space.
f) There is full storage under the queen bed, and there is a large "outside" access door to this area. The bed will tilt up for access as well.
g) The new Eagle TT uses a laminated floor system (in lieu of tongue/groove plywood). If the floor studs are properly located/spaced, the laminated flooring should be ok.
h) All the windows had a slight tint to them (not thermal pane).
i) The entry steps were larger (in depth), and a third step was added.
DRY TONGUE WEIGHT: 1070
TOTAL (approx) UVW: 8020
GVWR:9900
In all, I thought the floorplan had a nice open feel to it. IMO this model would lend itself well to two adults taking extended stay trips.
If I wasn't content with my present TT, the 320 RLDS would be on my short list.
