Regalo vs Summer Play Yard

I was hesitating between this and the Summer Infant Pop N' Play Portable Playard so I ordered both as there was free return shipping and I could only return one. Here's a quick comparison: Regalo: (the one I keep) - Removable bottom and mesh (and mine got dirty after about a week of use) - Much easier to set up and fold - just two slats at the bottom of each side. Pulling or pushing with your foot is slightly cheaper. So if you have older kids who want to get in and out (like me) this may not be worn. I broke the stitches on all 6 small blue covers along the top edge, but I don't think this should affect performance. Summer: (the one I am returning) - the bottom is not removable (and the bottom of the regalo is already dirty after about a week of use) - takes longer to set up/store - you have to use six attachments that hold tight, one on the bottom of each letter "V" and slide it (not as easy as it looks :) - materials seem better. I don't think the broken stitches I have on the Regalo will happen in the summer (but I also had a 2 year old and two 4 year olds who also climbed back and forth). Overall I like the Regalo because it's easy to set up/fold and you can remove the bottom and mesh for washing. I have several photos comparing them, as well as the unbuttoned stitches on the Regalo, the matching gray section on the buzzer, the buzzer's fold bar and fold lugs, and a few more material comparisons. Blue is regalo, green is summer. Update: I contacted Regalo to let them know what I like and what I think needs improvement (seam tears) and they sent me another playyard for free, even without my knowledge! So, great customer service there!
