Im not sure which of our Outwell tents it was, either the old Winfield tunnel tent or the Monty4 which was one of the first montys off the production line, and without the full side porch extention, that was indeed a 5000 hydrostatic head. Both were super quality and the Winfield has now found a new home with one of our grown up daughters, and is still going on strong and is bone dry and very windproof in bad weather. The Monty is soon to be adopted by our yougest daughter as we have now moved onto a caravan due to arthritic joints making tent camping difficult for us.

You don't need a 5000hh, you really don't, 3000 will be more than adequate and a decent tent with a 1500 will be adequate for UK camping.

Be careful about second hand nylon tents unless you know their history.
