Can't help with either of the tents you mention but just wanted to welcome you to the Mad House!!! Both Royal and Wynnster are well known and well respected brands.

If you're looking for an 8 berth tent, have a look at the Khyam Ontario 8 which is a fab tent!!!!!!
* Very easy to put up
* Fits on a standard pitch as it measures 7.5m x 3.7m (tents over 5m wide can experience problems of fitting on a pitch at many sites)
* Standing height (225cm)
* SIG (sewn in groundsheet) helps keep draughts and bugs out
* Groundsheet lies flat at the entrances so no trip hazard
* Large bedrooms - tent can comfortably accommodate 8 x 75cm wide airbeds
* Acres of living space - over 3mx 3m with all the bedroom pods in place
* Doors can be canopied open to provide shelter
* Plenty of ventilation points
* Cable entry point for EHU (electric hook up)
* Hanging hook in centre for light plus cable tidy ties
* Weighs less than 30kg

You can also buy carpet and sunporch to turn it into a real home from home!!

We bought ours in 2007 and paid £189 and got the footprint groundsheet thrown in fro free.
Prices have obviously increased slightly but well under the £300 you've mentioned for the other tents you've looked at. You really get a lot of tent for your money and there are lots of other very happy Ontario 8 owners on here too!!

Good luck with your hunt. Just remember that we all have our favourite tent so take your time and get the tent which works best for YOU.
