The 97 has the same dropped engine frame rail chassis as the LXi. The mechanicals are identical. The real difference is slides. To satisfy the market demand for slides BB needed a different body/frame construction. They found it in their LTC40 touring bus. Both buses are great. It comes down to availability, price, condition, and taste preferences.

As much as I like our LXI, there is just something I love about the look of the WBs. There are pictures in the gallery of some true beauties. The '97 would have been the last and most refined year as well and they had the Detroit 60 Series.

As David says, I don't think you'd go wrong with either.
