We have a 3950 and for the most part we're very happy with it. We're still working through some warranty issues. The most significant is that the ramp has to be replaced because of a crease up the middle. If you are offered a heavy duty ramp, take it.
We don't have the 6-way leveling system so I can't help you with that.
we have a 3905 with epic package and really like the trailer. there are some owners who have had trouble and some who have not. we have only had minor issues with ours (one speaker not working, little things like that)and our dealer fixed them promptly.
I took the info I read about problems others had and made a list, I then used that list when I picked up our trailer to double and triple check our trailer to try and avoid those problems in ours. so far that strategy has worked pretty good. For example I didn't like the way one of the slides was closing, so I had the dealer adjust the slide motors before we took the trailer home. they tweaked the settings while we completed the rest of our pdi so far no problems.
regarding the auto level system, I really like it! we camp with five or six families at a time all have toy hauler models of various sizes and all wish they had the auto level system on their units. I really like how I can start the process going and walk away to do other camp setup and just keep an eye on what its doing until auto level is complete. I also like how it simplified undoing and reconnecting to the truck when its time to go home. I think auto level is now a must have on any future trailer if we ever decide to change from our voltage.
good luck in your shopping process!

Have had a few issues so far... Large window in living room leaks, as does a window in the garage. Microwave vent doesn't work. Those are the minor issues.
The major issue is the living room slide being completely out of whack (bedroom slide has issues, too). We picked the trailer up Nov 22nd and they have yet to be fixed. The problem has been diagnosed by a Lippert repair person, and we are waiting on authorization for the repairs from Dutchmen. Dutchmen's customer service started out stellar, but is starting to slip a bit. They are starting to lag behind on returning phone calls and emails.
The 6-point leveling is wonderful, as are other options. Overall, we are happy with the unit. We just wish all the issues were minor...

These comments aren't specific to the model you are shopping but to TH in general. TH, by design, are very complex since they usually have more systems then a typical unit. Generators, fueling stations, a back wall that literally opens up on a hinge, multiple large slides, and an additional axle. The slides on some TH are switching over to the new Lippert rail-system slides. These slides are quite nice and been used for a few model years on units with smaller slides. The TH market is putting these on full depth, full-length slides - I think they still have some work to do on these.
So in contrast to your Cedar Creek be prepared to potentially have a longer period of time to flush out any adjustments and first year issues. I personally would look around at other brands that use a traditional hydraulic or electric ram/cog slide (these have been around awhile, like your Cedar Creeks slide).
Good luck.

prepare to be annoyed with the slides. They leak alot without slide toppers. The rails seem to channel water to the inside. The slides aren't well-designed -- they aren't well-adjusted when they come from the factory the first time, they aren't well-adjusted when they come from the factory the second time....
