I just have to say how superior (IMO) the Ducato driving position is compared to VW Crafter and Mercedes Sprinter. We have Ducato based MH and recently, friends have acquired Crafter panel van conversion and a fully loaded Hymer on Sprinter. Both very nice vehicles but compromised by poor driving position.
 
Do you have Swivel chairs?
Do you look at your speedo or dash?
A common complaint with Ducato based motorhomes is the iniability to read the speedo, possibly due to the angle being on a higher chair, recognised by Fiat by changing the software to run illumination in dash all the time.
This is brought up on MH forums regularly. previously I used a speedo ap on a old smart phone. now i use Torque and a permamently attached obd2 device.
 
We have swivel seats and I look at the speedo and dash constantly. Seems really good to me.
 
Personally I dislike the "bus driver" feel with the less vertical steering wheel compared to most. Get used to it.
