Having towed a standard height PUP and high wall PUP, there are definitely some differences. I cannot see over or around the high wall whereas I could use my rear and side mirrors on the standard height. Only the A/C blocked any views at that time.
Now, with HW, I have to use mirror extensions and see nothing but white paneling when looking at the rear view mirror.
If your TV is the same one from towing the HTT, you may like it again. As BigBaron mentioned, my HW PUP is taller than the profile of my 4Runner (thank goodness it's a V8). I took a hit on gas mileage due to more wind resistance and nearly 1,000 pounds heavier than my first PUP.
But I must say - it is WELL worth it for the major and minor differences. I pretty much have most all of the features of an HTT except overhead cabinets and a tub. I have more storage capacity than I have stuff.
And nicely enough, it fits in my garage. Anyway, a HW is quite a viable option. You're already familiar with canvas/vinyl bunks. You just have to add some cranking up and down, depending on the options and floor plan.
