I have recently bought the Calisto 500, and am very pleased with it. First time we used it, we had Thunder, Hail, heavy rain and very strong gusts of wind and the tent stood up very well. The steel poles certainly do help when the weather gets a bit rough.

we have the Vango Zanzibar because of the security of the metal poles, also have the Icarus for when its just the 2 of us, & as much as I love it, I woud have bought a metal poled option if there had been one at the time - now I've got tent envy and want the calisto!

            We went to scotland end of september last year in our icarus it stood up well to the wind with use of rock pegs and the TBS system it has.

just had a look at the Vango website & did a side by side comparison - it doesnt say that the calista has a removable divider in the bedroom - this would be a deal breaker as we use the space as one large bedroom with the queen sized airbed running parallel to the back of the tent, easier to make up each day.  would be interested to know if they do have a divider just omitted the info in their blurb
