Have a look at this thread, since it relates to the qualities of other canvas tents as well.

Downside to a frame tent is increased pack size and weight, but if that isn't an issue then I'd say go for it!

We have a Sunncamp Grange - have you read the tent review sections as this may help ?  Like you couldn't bear the noise of the dome tent we did have until it ripped. Also we found pegging out etc always difficult and getting right tension etc.  With the frame tent all these problems have disappeared.  Its a large tent in terms of living room, but because there are no pods stretching out at all angles, we've never experienced a problem with pitch size. Its a good solid rectangle shape.  Downsides is the middle sleeping pod which you have to negotiate the support pole right outside the door to get in and out.  We don't bother with the wardrobe/toilet sections either (don't fancy peeing behind a bit of flimsy see through cotton sheet).  Its a great tent, and while all around is being washed away, we've stood firm.  Yes the frame is heavy so we store it in smaller sections and your'll probably need roof box/trailer to take everything else.  A tent that's made to last. If you want any more info, just ask.
