We have a Kampa Pop Pro Air 290 for our Fluerette and though it is heavy to get onto the awning rail if you make sure the rail is clean and lubricated (one of my pre-season jobs) then it is much easier.

We have a Kampa Pro ace 400 Air. It is probably our tenth or eleventh awning, when we had poled awnings we thought Isabella were good value but you get what you pay for. We then went onto a Kampa 400 poled version, but found the water pooled on the roof from the word go so our dealer swapped it for an Air 400. 

I won't say if it is the worst or best but we are pleased with it, one inflation point, all poles can be isolated with inbuilt valves, so if there is a leak only one pole deflates. Yes it is heavy to pass through the awning rail but we remove the front & back sections to make it easier.

BHF good luck on your choice.

On our second Bradcot Air Aspire. Very happy with it. only reason for changing is we went from a 2.6m to a 3,9m one.

Very quick to put up/inflate (5 minutes or so) but as said the pegging out takes a while. when initially looking for one we went to a dealer with a large display of awnings. the Bradcot, to us, seemed to be a far better quality product over the other makes  available.

Just my opinion based on my experience when buying and subsequent ownership .
