I'm 6'5'' so advantage FW. There's not a TT made that I feel comfortable in. An arched ceiling with 5" above my head isn't going to help much.
I can reach 8 foot ceilings with my hand so having the FW height is super nice and the 220RK isn't even 27' long, so it's still smaller and lighter than a lot of TT.
Bonuses for us are way more storage than a 27' TT and I can hookup and disconnect much much faster.Resistance is Not Futile, It's Voltage Divided by Current.

One of our groomsmen from many years ago is also about 6'5" and Ron has shared that a fiver wins the height item hands down. Most time when in the fiver and awake is spent in the living/kitchen area. A relatively small % of time is spent standing in the fiver bedroom/bathroom areas. Ron and his wife bought a 2018 337 Reflection in August.
Other tall folks we know who have toured our fiver and/or have owned a TT and fiver echo Ron's and DMB feedback.

Previously owned a Reflection 313 TT, and now a Reflection 337 5er. Virtually identical floor plans, with the TT being 38’ and the fiver at 35’. Had a Propride hitch on TT so towed similar to fiver ...no sway. Like the fiver better for size and room. Liked the TT for truck bed room and easier to back. Fiver way easier to hitch and unhitch. More storage in fiver. Overall prefer the fiver.

It was a hard decision when we bought our 303 as we considered not only the 337, but, going back to a TT also. I just like the hitching so much better, and the storage isn’t even close! This is why we stayed with the FW instead. I can honestly still get quite a bit of stuff in my bed also with proper loading and paying attention not to get anything above the bed rails and obstruct the pigtail and EBrake cable. Though I too admit the backing is easier with the TT and I sometimes miss having the full bed. I’ve gotten much better backing now and I am very profecient at it 90 percent of the time. But the first year or so was embarrassing! And for me the learning curve wasn’t the difference in dynamics, but the much more limited view with that big nose cap in my back window I was used to looking out of.
