I've had both (still have the 25' SS). The 19' is a great little unit....cute, etc. If you have a family or even if it's just the 2 of you, the 25 is a far more comfy unit with more storage, dual sinks, larger fridge and has both a couch and dinette (depending on model). The bed is about 4-5" wider (Six Sleeper which is what I am comparing since the 25' SS is very similar to the 19' Bambi, yet improved upon through the additional space) and the 25' starts the wide body units (slightly more room inside).

I went into the Bambi with the intention that a fair number of 19' owners do and though it's a great coach as well, we upgraded to the 25' unit as a few of us here also have done. Our issue was it was just the two of us and the pooch. We got sick of kicking the water bowl each trip. With the 25' the pup has her own little nook while still allowing free flowing access throughout the coach. On rainy days, we had more room to roam both in and outside. Inside with the couch, dinette and bed, outside with a larger awning to shelter from the elements.

Think long and hard about the 25'. In some cases it's easier to do it just once. In the long run, if you finance it, the additional cost of the 25' is only about $50/mo.....maybe..... and the interest can be claimed as a deduction unlike a car loan. If you're payin' cash, it's about $9k more depending on your negoit skills and options.
