Glad you found something to work for you. You are right, many are very loyal to specific types. To be honest, the best kind is the one that fits you, your family and your budget.
We had a pop up about 12 years ago. Started off with me, my wife and my stepson. Then our daughter was born. Due to moving and job changes, we didn't use it for a year or two and decided to sell it. Then a few years ago, life once again changed and we decided to get back into it. We went with a TT. Didn't even have a truck to buy it and had it transported to a campground at the beach, where they moved in it and out of storage for us. A few months later, got the truck and went and picked up our TT. Had it for a few years and back to square one, we put it back in storage and and traded the truck in for a mid size SUV. The TT was a total of 35' long and we didn't keep it stored at home. We rented a spot down the road from our house because of our yard. We wanted to do some camping in the mountains and the TT was just too long for many campsites. Or at least we were very limited to campsites. So the idea was to either get a pop up to pull behind the SUV or do tent camping and leave the TT at the beach for beach trips. About a month later I found a great used pop up for a couple thousand dollars. We had it for just over a month before trading it and the TT in on the class c. Te class c works so much better for us. We only have our daughter at home now and she sleeps in the bunk over the cab. I say bunk, but it's a queen size bed. We actual inside space is about 1' shorter than our TT was inside. The TT had quad bunks which was a waste of space for us. Th class c is set up so much better than the TT. The finishes in it are nicer as are the slides. And they both are made from the same parent company, Thor.
The entire class c is about 3' shorter than the TT was from bumper to hitch. Even if we tow my wife's SUV, we will have a shorter total length than the truck and TT combo. We are seriously considering towing my little Toyota Yaris instead, which is a lot smaller and lighter. My in laws are giving us a blue ox tow bar they had. We gotta get the plate for the yaris and figure out the braking part. I hope to have all that done before fall.
