Also think about the tent fabric you want. Mine is proofed canvas, which is very breathable and I don’t get condensation. Stays dry inside. Others have a vinyl which is arguably more waterproof but less breathable, and more condensation prone.

Not sure which roofs have a vinyl canvas, but the Hilo has a high quality, marine-grade canvas. Not sure if that's the same as water-proofed. but never had any water ingress.

I see Hilo/Horizon now has 60Kg roof loading, which would put it back on my list. I was picking mine in Autumn 2022, so not the right time to be going Hilo.

Or go for a pop top that uses removable panels rather than a pull-down bed. On a trip when you don’t need them leave them at home. We have only taken our bed panels once and on all other occasions have benefited from extra headroom when the roof is lowered.
Or have a pop top that doesn’t extend the cutout over the cab area. Gives some extra storage space when the roof is up and likely also makes the vehicle cab stronger in the unfortunate event of an accident.
