My feeling is exactly the same as Liz G - if it's raining and we've been walking all day, I just want to be able to wander into the tent and collapse in my chair and not worry about whether I'm getting mud on the floor or little puddles are being made from the drips on my raincoat!!
We have a Mayon Vario 4 with SIG but there a fully sown in SIG's on both bedroom which keeps us cosy at night.
Also, just things like getting ready to go out for the day - how do you wander in and out of the tent to collect your day packs & coats and flasks etc without constantly tready muck in & out - I'd drive myself up the wall trying to keep the floor clean!
HOWEVER - totally a personal preference - my sister-in-law has a Diablo with a full sown in ground sheet but she has 2 x small children & this is perfect for her cos in the morning they can just clamber out of bed & play on the floor without her having to worry.
