That is where I am headed. :-)  But was curious if the cheaper ones lasted.

This one has a $35 warranty where you would pay 1/3rd the cost to replace if wind damages it - since most do not have a true full replacement wind warranty....  so about $$275 for the pole or $75 for the canopy only if damaged by wind.  This is the least expensive of the non-home depot like ones I have found - seems to use good materials - no rivets, stainless protected bearings.... 

But... feel stupid if the cheaper ones are working fine for most folks...  So was just curious...
