I think pitching with a sig is easier than without as it keeps it shape when you are pegging (got a barbados, a big noumea!)

Very quick and easy to pitch for 1 person, don't worry about it

In the long term I don't know if the cabanon will be any better than the hypercamps, I can only vouch for the cabanon as I haven't seen either of obelink tents in the 'flesh'

Might be worth putting the rosas into the argument as well?

I spent ages trying to decide between the Eldorado and the Djakarta. and eventually opted for the Djakarta as it was lighter. Though now I've got it I agree with comment that both tents are probably closer in weight than the site suggests the Djakarta seems quite heavy to me.

I was worried it would be too small especially the living area but its fine and the living area is quite roomy enough for a small table and couple of chairs and bits and bobs in the sides. The only thing I found was when I went away I used the mattress from my trailer tent which is just over 2m in lenghth and I had to sleep side to side not front to back if that makes sense. I haven't tried it with smaller sleeping mats.

I think you would be fine with either tent the quality seems really good especially for the price. The only other thing that put me of the Eldorado was the number of tent pegs it seems to have alot more than the Djakarta.

Its really easy to put up I can do it by myself no problems and if I can do it anyone can.( i'm also a lady of a certain age) I didn't look at Rosa as I'm not a fan of SIG. The Djakarta was fine with the big mudflaps and ground sheet and with a couple of picnic blankets it was really warm in the living area no drafts.
