I find the biggest advantage of the new common rail engines is that they are very much quieter in cab - important in a motorhome.

Other people's views are interesting but have you tried both engines to compare?

I think BHP figures are largely academic and not especially relevant to a heavy vehicle such as a motorhome ( not even in many cars even though the advertising people love to push high bhp).

If you wish to study performance figures, then a look at torque figures across the rev range will give better indication. Many newer technology engines have a better range of torque than their predecessors, even though their BHP may be lower.
