The Argosy is a well made trailer but lighter and cheaper than the Airstream. Personally I like the Argosy and wouldn't feel a bit underprivileged to own one.
Another Argosy advantage is they are almost all small models around 22 or 24 feet, small Airstreams are hard to find and sell for a premium price. So if you want a small Airstream an Argosy may be easier to find, and lower in price to boot.

Really the only thing that's lighter about a non-Minuet Argosy over an equivalent-length contemporary Airstream is due to the level of equipment that was standard in the Airstream. Now the Minuets, with a bit narrower floor and aluminum cabinetry, should be significantly lighter at the same length.
And no, I don't feel the least bit underprivileged... I get to spend just as much as everybody else to keep mine ready for travel!
