Hiya Sharon I looked at the Orchy range when after a new tent looked a nice tent but because of the shape of the roof in the living area (sagged) seemed smaller. Have also seen threads on here saying that the poles are prone to splitting because of the design (although this may have been rectified this year??) I can also see that roof holding water in heavy rainfall. We eventualy purchased the Tigris400 and are more than happy with it (pics in tent review section) Loads of room for two adults and would be enough for 2+2 kids. So the 600 should have ample room for you. The Tigris range are also very easy to erect

I have an Orchy 600.....never had any sagging of the door or the roof, its nice and light and airy with the roof windows, OH is 6`4" and can stand in it and doesn`t find it small.

We have camped in it in some hideous storms last summer, and had no pole problems and no sagging in the gales either

We love the tent
