I bought the Eldorado because it seems to be the best value canvas tent available by quite some margin. Also it has been highly rated on the forums.
I'm used to tents without SIG and don't think this will be a problem although had the difference in cost been less, would have considered the Rosas.

Nicely pitched
I would get one if I had any excuse to, but can't find one. Already have a tent in every size, colour, for every season...

Don't be silly Val, you know you can't have too many tents. 
You've posted some good pictures BTW.

Astonishing! Ordered Sunday night delivered 9am Wednesday morning.
Gasped when I took the weight of it from the postman (must be getting old) and then opened the parcel to check it out.
It was just as described but took a minute to get used to the pale grey colour (going to have to keep that clean). All the stiching was good and straight just the odd loose thread to brush off.
Later in the afternoon after the showers had died away out in the garden and spread out on a ground sheet.
Absolutely no difficulty to pitch just time spent attaching the myriad of guy lines (I'm quick doing bowlines now) and astonished how they do it for the money.
Bigger than I thought with room for 2 double airbeds. The bottom flaps turn in to make a seal against the ground sheet, don't think there are going to be any drafts. Well we'll see when we try it out for real next week.
That looks nicer than in Obelinks showroom. Nicely pitched too :)
Enjoy . Actually I feel then need to say it in Dutch now.. veel plezier :)

Because it's half the price Eldorado is a lot of tent for the money you pay Rosas is more like the cabanon pyramids, but you pay more
On the other hand, the Rosas is green. My preferred colour for a tent!
