I own the 241QBXL and I really like it. I moved from a 20' 1991 Dutchmen that had the convertible gaucho and wanted a solid bed that I didn't have to close up. It appears that the 241 will give you more room as it has the sofa. I do like that the 171 has the closets in the bath though I don't know how big they are. There is good cabinet space in my bath below the sink. My unit has the power jacks which make set up so much easier than having to get down and hand crank.
The two things I would change would be to have more counter space in the kitchen and a shower that is easier to get in and out. I have to sort of maneuver between the bathroom door and the shower door.
Take a good look at whatever you decide to buy. Figure out what you want, don't want, and what you can live with. Nothing will be perfect, most likely but you want to come close. I used a form I created when I went to the camper show a couple of years ago and listed what I wanted out of each section (bed, bath, kitchen, cabinets counters etc.) and rated each. When I bought mine it seemed right and came to find out that it was my first choice of the ones I saw at the show a year or so earlier based on my sheets. Had kind of forgotten about doing that.
Personally, I think you'll like the 241QBXL. I love mine.
