Going from pop-up to hard side, big mistake?

We went from tents to pop-ups (first one used, then new) and loved them. We weren't planning on making a change but one day came across a nice used TT and bought it, private sale, but kept the pop-up, thinking we'd use them both. After ten years of non-use, we sold the pop-up.
What we discovered we like best about TTs over pop-ups: Not having a wet rig (dew or rain) to deal with after use; being able to use the TT on long trips for rest breaks, etc.
We enjoyed the pop-up lifestyle and miss it, but we'll never go back.

I know this had little, if anything, to do with the OP's question. This comment just sparked some major, fond memories of our pop up days. We also both miss the pop up , but we won't go back either. I'll just leave it at 'It's hard to beat a pop up'.
