Ok looking for a perfect tent!

Had a Diablo 600 last year and liked the living space and porch area BUT didnt like the sloping bedrooms and the porch area was VERY wobbly in the wind. Now looking at something like an Outwell Georgia L -what do you think?

We looked hard at the Diablo but again didn't like the sloping bedrooms. Went for the Vango Aspen 700 DLX and never regretted it. Large living area, stand up in the bedrooms, huge porch. We had 6 sitting on chairs in the living area a few weekends back while it rained with room for the kids to run around. Not the easiest tent to put up but when it's up, ohhhhhhhh!!!!!

Shall I start at the beginning ..... I like the dome tents as they allow for a little distance between me and my daughter who has a habit of sleepovers! Never had a tunnel tent but always worry that they'll crumble in the wind and rain (always rains with high winds where we go!).

Like the diablo style where you can cook in the porch area and then zip up living area to sit in porch at night, leaving kids to sleep.

Do like the features of the Outwell tents with the sky lights and bright guys.

Think I must be exceptionally picky!
