I have just pitched our icarus 500 in the garden and it is all one inner but can be divided by a clip up panel making it into two pods hope this helps

To save a bit of money, if i had to choose one, is it best to get the footprint groundsheet or the carpet for the icarus?

I too am eyeing up an Icarus 500. My concern is that it is marketed as a weekend tent but I wanted to get it for longer camping trips to replace an Oggie Kalahari that is getting rather leaky.

Only two of us, would it be OK for a week or so?

After viewing both the Icarus 500 and Tigris 400  next to each other this weekend, I've plumped for the Tigris 400. The poles are thicker, and therefore stronger, better HH (although i doubt it really makes much difference), and although I have to duck very slightly in the bedroom pod of the Tigris, the lounge space felt to have a bigger usable space. The whole tent seemed just a bit more homely and felt as though it would stand up to the elements a bit more.
