NYGUY said it about best - main difference is the options. We bought the Bougainvillea, my sister bought the Amarillo. Both built within 6 months of each other in 2001. Ours has the tall ceilings in the living room & kitchen (makes it feel so much larger), pocket doors from living room to guest bedrooms/bathroom, pocket door from living room to master bedroom, the optional master bath with two separate walk-in closets, a pocket door from master bedroom to the master bathroom, a small pantry off the kitchen, and the furnace-A/C unit is in the garage. And yes, we have the nicer roof shingles. My sister's Amarillo has none of those upgrades but the layout of both homes is nearly identical - at midnight with no lights if you know how to walk one, you can walk the other very safely.
