Tonneau Cover Opinion - Undercover tri-fold

I am looking for a tonneau cover for my truck. I have decided I want a tri-fold hard cover. I would like to stay under $1000. After looking at all the options, Undercover seems to be the brand I am looking at. It is between the Ultra flex and Armor Flex.

Seems like those have the highest user ratings, Ease of use (no clamps to latch only cables to pull), Seem like best durability, Secure (They have latches on each panel), longer warranty.

I know others have some or all of these features but these two seem like the best combined. I have looked at Gator, BAK, Peregon, extang and not sure if I am missing some other good options.

Any opinions or suggestions on these or others are welcome as well as retailer suggestions but My requirements are: Tri-Fold, Hard top and $1000 or less.

Here are links to the ones I am looking at:

Ultra Flex
Armor Flex
Thanks

    This is not a tonneau cover but some thing better, look at a Softopper. I've had one for over 10 years, it's as dry as any fiberglas cap, and less than $900. I can put it up in less than 5 min an down in 2. It folds up like a convertible top.

    That same cover was on my truck when I bought it. I've noticed the gaskets between the 3 sections is leaking a little so items in the bad can get wet. Also, foam rubber strips along the bed are nicked up a little.

    Overall I'm happy with it because I don't expect it to be 100% dry.

    Had Fold A Cover on two different trucks and liked them. Hard, fold into quarters on a long bed. I could still use my fiver hitch easily. Took all of five minutes and 4 bolts to remove when I wanted to haul bark, rock, or trash.

    I have NOT had good luck with BAK, just a FYI.

    First hard trifold leaked bad. Sent it back, waiting to be refunded.

    I then bought a Revolver X2 hard roll up off a dealers shelf because I needed one in a hurry for a trip. It doesnt roll or unroll worth a darn. The panels bind.

    My brother and father both have Extang Solid Fold and they are both very nice covers.
