Welcome to the forum!!

Nice to see you have done some research ,and come up with two different suggestions . Both are fine tents and will serve you well , so in that respect there is no need to worry about making a poor choice.The answer is dependant on sleeping arrangements . The Modulus X7 has two large bedrooms that would accomodate all of you in , depending if you all want to sleep together for now , leaving you free not to put the bedroom inner up creating more living space. Also you could omit the detacheable bedroom completely to make a smaller weekender .The Diablo has slightly smaller bedrooms , so it would be difficult to have all of you in one area . But it has more living space. My solution would be to combine the best aspects of both and consider a Coleman Matrix X9 at £200 . Flexible bedroom space, and good living space,plus great headroom and ventililation .IMO best buy under £200 (by a penny). Have a look , and tell us what you think. This a tent for the next 5-7 years, so for £30 a year , you can have your own home from home!

What do you call not a fortune? How much roughly do you want to spend?

This is a nice big tent with good reviews and a good manufacterer and a good price

Or in a package deal with canopy etc . Again a great price.

There are some fantastic pictures of it posted in the review section here.

For those interested , it is available here at £199

Over the last few days , the price of these has gone up in a number of outlets. A similar thing to what happened to the Evolva  ,so if you are thinking about -snooze and lose.

Just wanted to follow up on this - Best Buys are all out of the Matrix X9 (They updated their website this morning). They only had six and they will not be getting any more at this price.(£199 + £17p&p)

I took the £250 option from Norwich Camping (couldn't do the price match because they are not "in-stock at best-buys) .Free postage so actually only £34 more expensive (No chineese takeaway this weekend and were all square)

Still below budget , and still not a bad price , however for the mean time at least the £199 Matrix X9 apears to be as rare as hens teeth.
