Very much a case of personal preference. They are exactly the same trailer with exactly the same canvas, so anything you add to one means you take from another.
As you know, the obvious trade off is larger kitchen in the Countryman, against the toilet compartment in the Fiesta. The other main trade off is the second fixed double in the Countryman against the extra settee in the Fiesta. Because the Fiesta uses the second bed to make up the second settee, this means that there is more floor space in the centre of the trailer. The Countryman, in contrast has opposing settees in the main trailer area. On the down side, this takes up extra floor space, but, on the plus side, there is more storage under the second settee, there are two permanently made up double beds, and this is a more practical arrangement when 4 people are dining, as both settees are closer together and on the same level. The Fiesta is a little less practical in this regard, as the larger settee is higher than the smaller one, and a little too far back to allow convenient dining.
I think, for most, the Countryman is the preferred option, unless you want the convenience of an on board toilet. This is borne out by my experience on the Pennine stand over the last couple of years. Of the people I have spoken two who have bought campers at the shows, all have gone for the Countryman, rather that the Fiesta. That's just the ones I spoke to, of course. No idea what the overall figures are.
