Which do you prefer? Anyone had either or both? We bought the Hartford recently in the Go Outdoors 'sale' but now that the Monty's coming up in a couple of weeks, we're wondering if we should go for that instead.

Help!

I'm personally not a fan of pod tents and prefer tunnel / frame (these tend to be more stable in weather) so I would go for the Monty ovr the Hartford every time. 

Having said that, it's a personal choice and whatever works for you and the sites you use is the most important thing to consider.

I'm going to be the odd one out here :)

Me, wife and 9yr old girl just preferred the feel of the Hartford. Both are great tents though so I would personally get to a showroom with them both pitched and stand inside them and feel for yourself.

Thanks for the info everyone. It's been a great help!

I've spoken to Go Outdoors and they're happyto let me exchange the Hartford nd accessories for the Montana 6 with front awning. Hubby and I like the 'feel' of a tunnel tent - probably because that's what we're used to. I'm also very tall and don't really feel comfy with the idea of the bedroom sloping down at the ends like they do in the Hartford.
