Uppababy vista or silver cross pioneer

[Madbuttonmum]

Please help me decide between these two buggies. We have sorted through the huge variety and have come down to these two which both suit our needs.

Basically, we think the vista is ideal for us but we cannot get to grips with putting it up and down. I understand that there is a knack to it but will I get on with it? I don't want to spend all that money to find that I get fed up with it and give up a few months down the line. I also think it folds oddly and is heavy to pick up to put in and out of the car.
We like the pioneer which is much, much easier to put up and down and feels much lighter to pick up. It is also easier to pick up, personally.

However, the vista is a little bigger and will last a bit longer so thinking long term, the vista would probably be best.

Have any of you got the vista? Did you get the knack of putting it up and down? Did it drive you mad? Did you give up?

Many thanks for any help!

I have the Vista, and will admit I struggled at first with the folding method as it almost feels like it's snapping, but it is soon really easy to do without a problem. As for it's weight, it isn't the lightest frame, but the wheels are removable and the frame is actually quite lightweight to pick up even one handed and pop into the boot of a car. We had read reviews that said they felt it was too big to handle, but I actually like that fact as it's solidly built and the massive basket underneath is the biggest selling point to me to keep using it.

We all love our vista and 2 of my friends also love theirs. It is big but I like that.

Love our vista. I struggled with folding the first couple of times but soon got the hang of it and now don't understand why I couldn't do it, if you know what I mean? It's slightly heavy but it hasn't caused me any issues.
