If I had to choose i would say the gelert because of the canopy at the front . It gives you somwhere to cook or sit and extends the tent. Why choose these two ?

Have got a Gelert LV6 and had a couple of wynnsters.  I don't understand why wynnster seem to be out of favour.  Wynnster all the way, though in fairness the Gelert did not leak in wind and rain the other day.  The Coleman Weathermaster Galileo has had reports of the roof sagging and is alot more expensive. The Mallard has been highly commended in Hiking magazines.

The choice might come down to the shape of the sleeping area.

One retailer I visited was sending all his 30 Weathermasters back to Colemans because of this.

I love my Wynnster Hawk. Every time we take it out it seems to pour with rain and it hasn't let us down once!
