Hi. The Noumea is a great little tent, everytime I use it I fall in love with it all over again. Lol.
I believe the weight is the total of tent + poles + pegs. My pegs always live separately, and I have no problem lifting the tent + poles in one bag in and out of the car. Those are the only two times when the weight of the tent is relavent as you don't have to lift it in any sense to put it up. The centre pole pushes up the fly, which is an easy action, while the weight of the sig just stays on the ground.
For this reason I think there would be very little difference in the effort required to put up a Guadeloupe or a Noumea, apart from a few extra pegs on the bigger tent.
Neither the Noumea nor the Guadeloupe have a conventional inner tent. The inside of the tent is divided into front/living and back/sleeping halves by a curtain which zips down the middle, or can be opened up and tied back during the day to maximise living space.
The Noumea is very pretty, super speedy to put up and is remarkably comfy and tardis like for a small tent, but it is very small. Its footprint is less than many little 2/3-man festival dome tents! The Noumea is quite brilliant for shorter trips but I am lucky enough to have other tents I can use if I'm going to be away longer.
If this is going to be your only tent and/or you want to use it for longer trips, you might want to reconsider the Guadeloupe or a Hypercamp Rosas.
And I'm impressed that you think Attwools is a small detour from Cambridge!
Hope that helps, please ask if you have any other queries.
