One that is at least quiet will make life loads easier (noise was one of the major pitfalls of my jeep, power being next, too much electrical apparatus/computers third)

Egg-zactly like a Jeep Comanche. That *design* was the closest I ever got to really wanting a truck.
The niceness factor is a fair argument. I can't remember if this was part of a study, but somewhere I read an article that argued a "comfy" car was good for your personal health, especially in combination with all the other stresses of commuting.
My lament is that I don't have the *choice* to buy a new bare-bones truck at a cheap price. My perception is that you are getting *less* with a truck than you are getting with a sedan or wagon, so why are you paying equal or more?
