We have a Vango but it is only the 280 had it 6 years without a problem and it has the extra canopy that we leave connected.
You could go for the Issabella but get a mortgage first;)
We also had a Vango Varkala ll 280 porch awning that we Sold the new owner never had any problems .

Another vote for Vango. We had the Kalari 420 initially and then changed to the Riviera 390. I was worried about it being slightly smaller but as the Riviera is square rather than angled at the corners we find we have more usable space. We have 2 annexes which we regularly use when our sons and their partners come away with us - absolute game changer for us as we can all have our own space and congregate when we want to. The Riviera is much a better quality fabric than the Kalari and after spending many hours deciding whether to change to a different manufacturer we spent a weekend trawling around showrooms - Vango was still the one for us and we're very happy with it.

Ours is the Varkala connect with a single air hoop sun canopy We went with this size to avoid windows and it is just right for us The quality is great which probably accounts for the 38 kilo weight.
I found that the sloping ground problem can be negated by careful packing under the lower beams

I have had a Sunncamp Air volution 390 for 6 years now. Not a single issue, sturdy thick fabric.
As far as condensation is concerned I have found it to be an issue if erected over grass, bot not any issue on gravel etc. Decent overnight ventilation keeps the condensation down a lot if over grass as well.
I have had poled and air, personally I much prefer air, but if on a seasonal then it woud be poled every time.
Air can be heavy, but we manage ours (at 28kg) without any problem at all, but its always a two person job, Mrs P feeds the beading in whilst I pull it through (I use tge caravan step to gain a bit of height, (I'm 5'10")
Both aged 70 and reasonably fit with no health issues,
Pay your money, make your choice, no right or wrong answer, just different ones.
