Been there, done that when we were buying for our retirement. We are lucky in that money was not a particular concern, we just wanted the exactly right thing for us to grab good weather when we retire. We travelled the country looking in dealers, this is what we thought.
Biscaya - lots of models, separate inners etc, fab quality, but some issues with poles/pitching in the past. Lack of stockists? Stunning looking and bags of space (we don't travel light.) ZIG a big disadvantage in France - and the colour of the ZIG not practical in muddy weather.
Karsten - no inners, big money for a basic single shell. Everything an extra, even plastic to cover window openings. Will cost thousands to get what you want, priced in euros and you pay the current exchange rate when you buy one. (get a TT instead.) Only one dealer. Beautiful looking, though. The tunnel extensions etc are smaller than you think, only 1 metre deep at ground level. We were seriously going to buy one and not worry about the cost, but felt let down when we saw one in the flesh and started to plan how we would actually use it. As I said, money wasn't a big concern, but we felt that someone was having a laugh when they were pricing the (absolutely essential) extras.
Relum - gone bust, I think. Not available new for a couple of years.
Outwell polycotton - loads of space, feel the weight, the brand is good but the quality variable. Look fab.
Eureka - saw the biggest one last year in France - not as big as you think. Look a bit flimsy.
Sorry not very positive, I know. Thats why we ended up with a TT.
