Oh you have bought both???
Think we had a dud one (eg a used one, Go outdoors seem to sell secondhand tents). We are without a tent at the moment and going away in a week, may buy another Maritsa as it is a nice tent. I like how the porch bit is already attached and some nice features and good price, if I buy another it will not be from Go
If you are thinking about getting another Maritsa Try Outdoor World Direct great service and the Marista 700 worked out cheaper as we found a discount voucher on web cheaper then Go at the time, ordered on the monday delivered on the wednesday.
Massive yes but space brillant!

We put our kitchen in the canopy and eat under there if have to. Last time we went we had 4 adults and 3 kids sitting under there eating, oh and the dog. The canopy is plenty big enough but yes, is shame it doesn't close up.
We have the 2010 Amazon 600 and it's fantastic, I don't know how it compares to the other tent you refer to but we love our Amazon. The enclosed porch is great and a big improvement on the earlier model.
Have never had a problem fitting it onto a pitch at the campsite we've been at.
