I cannot speak for the newest ones.
The older HECO lift system, and many new still use, works great until it doesnt. Very hard to repair, and impossible to in some cases.
I hated my camper due to the HECO. Take great care of the camper and eventually HECO will let you down.
If you dont plan to own it long then it should not be an issue.
You probably already know the downside and upside to pop-ups. You live in a tent.
Pop-ups are better the more miles you drive, or if you plan some off-road experiences. Less valuable if just driving short distances where the fuel savings is not that big of a number.
