I have Fiamma and would go no any other way. It rolls out you extend  the legs and you're done. No spring clamps or extendable poles , ropes or other parts. Spend the money once and enjoy it. 
        I guess since I don't drink or smoke , I can have other luxuries.

I realize there are set ups similar to what we have sold in kit form by some of the online vendors, and those are likely good devices.  EZ Up is one, I think.  But I did it myself, and like it fine.
