Thing is ... the pros & cons DO make it difficult to decide.
Common sense here but I've had 3 full-sized vans with 3 different lifts. With the full I liked the indoor maneuvering space and easier to travel with that space. I DON'T miss the bulk of it, the gas hogs they are or the longer wait on the lift unfolding, loading, refolding ESPECIALLY in freezing weather.
I now have a Braun Entervan (minivan) and love to just zoom up the ramp ... little wait. Better gas mileage. And not so bulky to drive around in. The lowered floors make a bumpier ride (bothers my back) but if it's not lowered I can't see out.
So I have no idea which choice to make next. I WANT to put a ball on the back to pull a small U-haul and I'd like the bigger indoor space but, then again I love the mini-van ramps. *sigh* Choices, decisions, ugh!

Minis are nice, but only if they are right for you. If you are living in a
big city with limited parking, the minis are nice. If you are employed or
upwardly mobile, the minis are very nice.
If you tow a housetrailer, ..... no the minis are not for you.
If you have 8 people in your household,..... no the minis are not for you.
Know your needs.
