When it was pouring rain and windy, (when you needed the awning the most) the awning had to be retracted because the electric awning was too flimsy to be out in windy weather.
At one point I was considering buying a new class A diesel and I even called Tiffon motorhomes and spoke to the owner about ordering a new class A without the damn electric awning.

With the tie down poles, the power awnings perform just like the manuals except for the hassle of stowing. The power ones are much easier.
Until I put the poles on, I agree with your assessment entirely about the power awnings.
