I've just ordered our bear lake 4, so I can't yet comment on how good it is. All I know is that after looking at loads of nylon tents, the BL felt like such a big leap in quality.
For us, these were the reasons we chose it:
* It's darker, so we won't wake up at dawn!
* Breathable fabric so it's cool in hot weather
* Warm in cool weather
* Great design giving us good space (2 adults and hopefully a dog soon!)
* Dividing bedroom
* ZIG made the tent feel cosy, but you have the option not to use it.
The disadvantage is the weight (we'll just keep our old tent for flying abroad). Cost was £500, so expensive, but we reckon we'll get lots of use out of it, so relatiely that's not such a disadvantage. The fabric is an unknown quantity, but then, if it lasts 5 or 6 years that'd be great, any more would be a bonus.
I'll let you all know how it fares in Aberdeenshire in a couple of weeks!
