Currently have a 2008 diablo 900 but it is to big for many local sites and takes too long to erect for weekend camping, so looking to buy a new tent but struggling to find one that ticks all the boxes below.
Needs to sleep 6 on airbeds,3 bedrooms, no bigger than 21ft wide or long and would like not to spend more than £350.
Spent the last 4 nights searching and need some help.

Evening banditrad,

I have a Khyam Ontario 8, here is the 6 berth version.

http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1428744-10475506?url=http://www.outdoormegastore.co.uk/acatalog/Khyam_Quebec_6_Family_Tunnel_Tent.html

It has a SIG and has withstood some of the best of the british weather, also fairly easy to pitch.

Cheers
Keith

I did check out the Khyam but it exceeds the 21ft limit slightly.

I think the Tigris is a good recommendation. Tunnel shapes give best space to weight ratio and are simple to erect; and we have a couple of Vango tents and have been very happy with quality. This is a new tent for 2009 and has some good features too - I especially value the tension band system as this overcomes the tendency of tunnel shapes to be less stable.
