Fiamma Caravanstore rollout awning

Been thinking about buying the ‘in a zip-up bag on awning rail’ type. I was thinking about a 4m Long one, to give maximum protection from showers to any furniture/equipment.

But, a caravanner said he had gone from a (old] 2.8m to a (new) 3.1m, and had felt  the new one to be disproportionately heavier and thus more difficult to roll up into bag, when having to stretch for height.

A couple of questions.

1. Has the material quality been improved on newer models, and thus making it overall heavier?

2. How do other users get on with their longer versions, say over 3m? Are they heavy to roll up?

thanks in advance for any comments.
