We just went from a 20' Safari to a 25' FC Rear Twin. We wanted the rear for the huge, unobstructed outside storage on the back. We wanted to twin 'cause we're tired of climbing over each other to get in/out of bed.
We have a new RB twin FC 25. It is only a few weeks old and we are doing our shakedown cruise this weekend. We wrestled with this dilemma also and ended up being fortunate that the dealer had both the FB and RB model in stock. They put them side by side and left us alone to study it. We went back and forth comparing both models for a long time and ultimately settled on the one we got. If you find a dealer that has both maybe it will help your comparison also. Good luck!
We also just went from a 20' FC front bed to a 25' FC RB and so far we love to. The extra inside space is very nice, and we like the larger bed and larger tanks, although you can't beat the inside storage and kitchen layout of our 20'. But, we are really enjoying our new rig!
We took time exploring the R and FB option and settled on the R. The deciding factors for us were:
We tend to camp at sites that put the back of the trailer in the quietest spot, not keen on hearing people walk past at night.
The dinette is mirrored, the R layout suites us better as I find it more natural to move about.
Not sure if that helps at all.

We had a 2014 Flying Cloud 23D and traded it in on a 2015 25 twin and love it. We like the extra room, the larger galley and ref/freezer and the extra storage out side (the 25 rear twin will give you more storage). We also like the ducted air, works great a much quieter.
