I came across this yesterday - a straight forward 2 steel poled tent: Wild Country 2011 Citadel 4 tent. Looks an interesting weekend tent, with rain door too... Colour looks lighter than in some of the other photos of the tent. Cheapest I've found it for though is £330.

I was convinced for years that lighter always = quicker, before I realised that this was not necessarily the case at all. D'oh!

Robens are a v reputable make but my guess is that a onepole tent or or one of the Quechua family pop ups would be quicker to get up and dwon than the Cabin. It depends on what your priorities are for your weekend tent.

did you get the cabin 500 in the end? we have BL6 too - fabulous tent but with weight and size, not exactly something you can throw in the car for a night! was also looking at cabin 500 and wondering how you might have got on...
