Default Lean to planthouse opinions

We've got a small suburban garden, with no room for a greenhouse. I've
already got a timber planthouse (one of the Haxnick's ones), but it didn't
make it through the winter very well.

I'm thinking of replacing it with an aluminium one and I've found a couple
of possibles:

Parasene Gro-House (79.95 GBP)

Lean to Plant house (130 GBP)
http://www.rootrainers.co.uk/supplie...lanthousesmall

There's quite a price difference, and I'm not sure if spending the extra is
worth it. It's mainly used for bringing on spring bedding plants, although
I may be tempted to try chillis and peppers through the summer. It needs to
be relatively easy to move round the garden for when it's not in use. I do
quite like the thought of the sliding doors on the pricier one as it means I
don't need to worry about gusts of wind blowing them open.

Would appreciate any thoughts from the FOAK, especially if you've got one of
them or any alternate suggestions.

They both look pretty good value for money as polycarb sheeting, is
expensive stuff.
I purchased a polethene sheeted lean-to at a garden centre for about £25,
but I only got 2 years out of it, when the plastic goes brittle and splits.
