I've admired these when I see them in campgrounds and shows such as I saw at FMCA in 2018 and these are high on my list of motorhomes. Comparing to what I know and all that I know, Newmar:

The top of the line is the Eagle:

American Eagle

Equipped with a Cummins® X15 605 horsepower engine with three-stage engine brake and an Allison 4000 Series six-speed transmission, Eagle can tow up to 20,000 pounds.

This seems to compare in interior style with Newmar's King Aire but around $600K less at MSRP than the current 2021 King Aire. Nice large frig at 23 cuft, more floor, i.e. no carpet, rounded cabinetry which looks modern (Dream below does not have this), a large kitchen sink and what appears to be very high quality upholstery in this model and what I saw in the Dream below. Floor plans look typical of most motorhomes. 56 degree wheel cut, lithium batteries are an option, auto headlights, floor heating, 220V appliances, a lot of items that are standard that Newmar allows you to option in, and also comes with under glow LED lighting. Price appears in the area of a Newmar London Aire.

Dream

We’ve also upgraded the appliances to Samsung black stainless—including a residential refrigerator with in-door ice and water and a bottom freezer.

Their mid line per their site looks like more traditional in cabinetry but overall looks very nice as well with nice upholstery and furniture, pricing is closer to a Mountain Aire I presume.

Revolution

It also comes with Select Drive®, which adjusts your steering level according to the weather.

The revolution is 3rd tier of the 3 but looks very nice as well, slightly lower price than the Dream still in the low 500's. Looks like fabric for upholstery but overall good looking as well and a nice computer control of the coach in a presentation that looks superior to Newmar's silverleaf setup.

Class B's also offered but I did not review.

I can verify only that the 2017 Revolution IS very nice, very livable. All the amenities in our 42G floorplan... which includes the L-shaped couch and corner big screen-over-fireplace and recliner arrangement. This floorplan cuts the bedroom and main bath space a bit. But we do our living in the ... LIVING ROOM, and not those other two functional but a bit cramped rooms. Closet and cabinet space is also a bit more limited since we use our dinette-table/chairs area as an office with office-related items stored over and under, and not the typical kitchen and cooking items.

But we wouldn't trade this on ANYTHING.

We had the Tradition. 40Foot. We bought it new in 2000. Extremely well made coach. Just sold it in Dec for 48K in perfect shape. Bought a Newmar King Aire.
