I'm almost positive that's not an Allmand 35, that's the 31. The 35's had a different galley lay-out. I have the 31, as does David_E.

Regarding the build quality, they are decent boats, but I would agree that they aren't up to snuff with CS or Niagra. Several of the Allmand owners have ventured pretty far with theirs (see, e.g., ISSUU - Southwindsmarch2010 by SOUTHWINDS Magazine and A medical crisis leads Marti to buy a sailboat and learn to cruise « The Women and Cruising Blog).

That is a self-reported list. Check out sailboatdata.com and they pics on Yachtworld and Sailboatlistings

Not to beat a dead horse, but here's the sales brochure for the Allmand 35. You can see the difference in the cabin lay-out:
