Have you a camping shop you can get to?
I've found it pays to have a look at them in person. Decent stitching and how they go up is usually the key.
Failing that - spend your cash on an uber 4seasons sleeping bag, that way, when you wake up to find your tents somewhere near the next field across - you won't care

I had a single layer tent last time which was crap... Defianatly will get one with a full flysheet this time... They have got nice 3D images of the tents on Blacks site even if there a little expensive..  Probably go to Millets, they got bigger range in my style. http://www.millets.co.uk/ . I basically can't afford to make a mistake.....  _________________

what are you goin to use the tent for as well, fair weather camping, festivals or all year. Loot quiet a good place to look you can pick up some right second hand bargains from there.

Mainly Summer, but maybe late spring and early Autumn probably... _________________

don't forget weight issue.
you never know when you might actually hike with it. lighter the tent = more expensive......worth it though.

I went to a Bikers rally one Febuary, it was so cold I could barely get the pegs in with out bending em cos of the frost. I think I slept in my leathers. btw my tent was about £40 from millets.
