We also had a number of pop ups before getting our TM. All of the comments made so far in this thread are exactly what I would have said. There is one more thing that sold us on the TM.

Whenever we were on our last night of camping in a popup and it rained, we knew that we were going to have an unpleasant time taking down wet canvas, soaking the sidewalls and our gear. Our moods would sink as soon as we heard the first rain drops hit the roof. We knew that we would have to get the popup opened the minute we got home so it would not turn moldy.

By contrast, when we hear rain on the roof in our TM, we just sit back, smile and enjoy the sound of it. The next day, it will be fine. We enjoy every day or our vacations, even the rainy ones. We might get wet while we take it down, but our belongings will stay dry and clean.
