There are so many fors and againsts for each of the DT and DK. our children are 12, 11 and 2. Just asked my eldest what she thinks of the bunk heights and she is absolutely fine about it. With only 2 children, the DK would be fine. However, we use the shower a lot so the extra room in there is a must for us. I also use the dinette for extra prep room when cooking as its straight across from the kitchen area. Because the dinette in the DT is not as near the bunks, OH and I can sit and have a cuppa in the morning before sorting the front bed, without disturbing the children by opening a sliding door.
With the DK you get the extra hidden storage under the bottom bunk which would come in handy although I will say that the storage in the Adria vans is amazing. The cupboards are HUGE! Another plus on the side of the DK, is that the end can be "shut off" so feeling like you have a seperate area, although its still not soundproof   the wheel arch is under the table in the DT so it slightly impedes on the sitting space but to be honest we don't find this a problem at all.
Look at This thread there are a few of us discussing the pros and cons and what we each like about the DK/DT 
Best thing to do is try to see them both in the flesh and have a mooch around them. Only you can decide what'll work best for you as a family 
PS. When looking at the extra 1k on price, bare in mind what additions you would make to the van. They don't come with ariel so that would be extra, carpets are extra and they do make such a difference, spare wheel.... You really should have one, middle seat cushion, worth it's weight in gold for putting your feet up for OH to give you a foot rub  the upgrade on the hitch from a ALKO 1300 to the ALKO 3006, the upgraded upholstery (doesn't particularly matter) alloy wheels........ Make wheel lock fitting soooo much easier. Plus when Appleby10 and I bought ours, they bought the DK, you either got a free motor mover or full awning........... So all in all well worth the extra 1k. If you are not too far away from venture caravans, have a mosey down and see what bargaining power you have ask if they have any deals like that and say that they have been recommended by the forum lot
