Unfortunately, the Lichfield and the Vango Universal canopies are now inexplicably discontinued and we were outbid so many times on ebay we just gave up on that idea.  The Coleman does the job and we pitched it in quite high winds, so we know it will stay up (providing we don't camp on the slopes of Ben Nevis!).  The guys are long enough to peg down on the other side of the tent. The canopy goes all the way to the ground each side and is pretty sturdy when the two ground tapes holding the sides are pegged down.  It maybe doesn't look quite so big on our tent because the 400 DL is a bit bigger than the 400.  Also, at £45, it is now cheaper new than a second hand Vango or Lichfield.
