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

We had an Outfitter Apex 8 and sold it to buy a hard side camper (Bigfoot). The first thing I noticed with the Bigfoot was how much better it rode on the truck, it seemed more balanced in terms of its center of gravity. With the Outfitter we had a lot of rocking motion front to back (proposing), which I feel is from having too much of the weight on the tail end like the refrigerator and bathroom. Our Bigfoot has the refrigerator and bathroom located right behind the cab, so more centered in the camper. The next thing I notice was better fuel mileage with the Bigfoot, which shocked me at first but then I got to looking at the two profiles of both set ups on the truck. The Bigfoot was higher profile obviously but has better aero dynamics. The warm factor and quiet factor are really big differences between the two campers as well as better and more storage in the Bigfoot. As far as off-road capabilities of the two the Outfitter could potentially get us into places the Bigfoot can't, but we don't hard core 4 wheel that much.
