In the Newer cigs you are typically looking at these style cabin layouts.

In order - Half Cabin, Full Cabin, NO CABIN!!

Of course I am partial to the cabin functionality and enclosed head of the early-mid 1990 Cafe's and Guns that looks like this - (this is a cafe)

There is a subtle different in the Cafe and Gun; I've Noted that, in these older models with the cooler/galley on the right and the table on the left, that the Top Gun couches flow into the rear bed and there is actually a second forward facing seat facing the table instead of the complete wrap around couch.

Cigarette refers to them as 'Cover Girl Cabin' and 'Extended Cover Girl Cabin'. I do not think a full cabin is/was available in any twin step Cigarettes.

Doesn't look like there is much more to it...
Looks to me like a big difference. That entire "sleep" area is eliminated in the half cabin.

I do believe there was at least one twin step built with the older full cabin.

In my new Cig I'm going with the "Lip-Ship" design in lieu of the V berth. His design moves the head forward, behind the curtain (privacy), and provides some storage bins each side for luggage. In the mid cabin the seat backs are eliminated so the seats are wide enought to sleep on if you really needed to. I don't plan on sleeping on the boat (no generator) so why would I want a V berth? This way I get a private head and secure storage for the poker runs like Key West.
