Awnings can be a mine field, but you seem to be on the right track already as you know what you want.
We had a full awning, but never used it to it's full potential (except for 1 very wet evening when all the neighbours bundled in to keep dry), so we sold that last year and purchased a porch awning.
We also have a Fiamma sun canopy.
The porch awning serves when the weather for the week ahead is forecast to be poor, or during the colder months, and we use the canopy during good weather.
Personally we found the lightweight awnings problematic in bad weather, which is why we bought a proper heavy porch awning, but it all depends on your own requirements.
Regarding makes, yes Bradcot are very good but this reflects in the price. If looking at Dorema, try looking for Starcamp (do no confuse with Sunncamp). Starcamp awnings are made by Dorema, and are excellent quality and value, for about half the price of Dorema http://www.starcamp.nl/. Ultimately you get what you pay for. Ebay is a good choice at this time of year for 2nd hand ones, but make sure you fully check it before parting with any cash and finally, make sure you buy the correct size awning for your van and if purchasing a porch awning, you need to take into account the location of windows, lockers, and fridge vents too so they are not obstructed by the awning sides.
