Thanks, the Vango Sumatra is a bit big for us I think. We've got a Bear Lake 6 already which is our 'week+' tent, but we wanted something small and easy for that quick 1 or 2 nights away.
Howabout the Trout Lake, Great weekend tent and fits your requirements. Pitches in less than 20 mins. We looked to for a cotton weekend tent, found that the coleman cotton has far to much proofing which defeats the object of having a breathable fabric as it no longer is able to breath. If the Trout is no good Cabanon do some good cottons as well as Roebens

Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes
Outdoor action sometimes get sample tents in and they are brand new with warranty, but cheaper. Ours was missing a toggle and we ended up with a partial refund that brought it down to 175
As for the Coleman Sahara, we tried to do a search and can't find it in the polycotton. We even tried Coleman's site. It was about 230 or 220 at the show. It was really really nice and we thought about going back up to the show to get it, then we stumbled across the Sumatra
The Sumatra is a 6 berth but feels more like a 4 berth, it's only 300 wide compared to I think 420 on the Bear Lake. The length is about 500+ so not too big. Our first pitch attempt took us 25 mins and that was down to sorting out the poles, so it is very quick to erect. We bought this for our weekend tent and can't wait to put it to use.
If you're interested in seeing the sahara, contact Yeomans and see if they can help. I'm sure they didn't sell them all.
