Downsides that I noted are the cheap cabinet build (staples, ugh), rather flimsy table due to no support leg (tradeoffs), and a really short bathroom that I (at 5'10") could not fully stand up in. Also the low point under the chassis seemed to be the propane fixtures on the driver's side, such that I think there less than 6" of ground clearance, though I didn't measure.
Solis was a similar layout to the Tellaro AT with better build quality IMO, but it does not have A/C, which is killer to us in the southeast. As I recall the Tellaro lounge seats (with seatbelts) were more comfortable than the Solis. Much of this is subjective so I highly recommend that you look at both.
Due to the lack of A/C and shower we only glanced at the Tofino, but PW build quality is really good.

We are going to look at a TellaroAT tomorrow. Thor made some interesting choices on this van. It has only a 1000W inverter which means I won't be able to make toast or run the microwave without turning on the generator. The inverter will run a coffee pot and the TV, and that's about it. In a little concerned about not haivng openable windows in the rear of the van, but some Thor B vans have added back windows. That said, there are a lot of practical features and we do like the layout so this should be a fun trip.
