From the perspective of comparing to soft side, I can't address from experience. TM seems less complicated.
From the age perspective, we are pretty close and the TM is not an issue for us to handle. I could do it myself and Joan could do 75% of it alone.
My observation is that the TM's hold their value better than a lot of alternatives, soft and hard.
The ability to keep ours at home in the garage is extemely important to us. We use it more, it stays in better overall shape, and it lowers the cost of ownership.
We have woke up, early, in the dark, with rain and lightning moving in and I promise you, it didn't take us 1.5 hours to be hooked up and ready to go :-)
