Since you asked for opinions.... I sure wouldn't mind having the electric awning. When we put out the manual awning and plan to be in a place for awhile we do stake it down. But I do so because it's such a pain to retract and extend, retract and extend. If we had an electric, I'd just hit the button when we want it extended and again when we're done. The only time I'd probably miss the manual is when it's raining and just windy enough I wouldn't want an awning extended without being staked down. But I'd probably opt for the electric, given the choice.
