We have an 2005 8356 with a booth. We love the booth but we have 2 teenagers that need to sleep someplace and they will not sleep in the same bed. The booth works great for us. I am the type to always ask for a booth at resteraunts anyway. We really like the storage. All four of us can sit and eat together but a lot of times its just two at a time anyway. We never considered getting a MH with a table and chairs because we just don't care for that set up. So my opinion is tainted because we don't like the table anyway. Good luck.
I would suggest checking out
www.martinsburgrv.com and see if their 8356 models would suit you. I am not sure how far away you are from them but they are a great dealership with great service.
I would suggest that you don't get it changed and just buy a 8356 with the floorplan/options you like. Happy Camping
