I very much enjoy my DEF + SCR equipped (2011MY NCV3) chassis powering my class C RV. The power band is right where it's needed, and the 14-18 MPG for a vehicle this size is awesome.
Notable benefits of DEF + SCR filters are:
1. No diesel soot smell. None. Not even a hint.
2. Much reduced carcinogenic emissions.
3. No questions about registering the vehicle.
4. Lower carbon footprint (less fuel burned = less CO2)
Sure, the filters lop off a couple MPG, but I think it's worth it.
