OP, you are getting some sound comments, but I understand what you are saying and believe you are on the right track. Just add a few of the other suggestions to your requirements.
Our first was an entry level TT and we then moved to a Surveyor because it was 6 sided aluminum. It still wasn't anything to be prideful of, but it was a very clear step in the right direction! Nothing broke in the hundreds of nights we used it.
I used price point to help me shop. By that, I mean find the middle price for trailers of the length you want. You almost always get what you pay for, and manufacturers have to justify why they are asking what they are. For instance, our Surveyor was about $22k while a comparable in an entry level was about $15k. It was very easy to find the $7k extra once I got to know the trailer. I began to recognize that sometimes more money translates to better value.
You'll figure this out. Keep educating yourself and try not to make a move until you do.
