Awnings - Rhinorack Sunseeker II vs Darche Eclipse

I’m looking to get an awning for my Prado 150. I only have the Toyota aero bars fitted across the rails at present. I’ve been told a 2.5m long awning is ok so long as you don’t go through the real rough stuff, corrugations etc. That’s fine as this will generally be a beach shade or swag cover.
I’m looking at these two brands due to the range of accessories available such as extensions, end panels etc, and like the look of the build quality. Both brands seem to be good with spares.
Anyone have any comments or guidance on the above? I note that the Sunseeker is either 2x2.1 or 2.5x2.1, whereas the Darche has 2x2.5 or 2.5x2.5.

Ive just bought my second awning. Last one lasted my 5 years. Its still usable, just the bag is aging and I bought this on sale.

The one thing I like about this awning is the twin c channel at the end. you can use a mozzy net or awning tent and still put up the end wall. This feature has been useful while camping
