Wild Country are also bringing out a smaller 4 man version of that tent with only 2 steel poles (which will be quick pitch), which is supposedly due out in a few weeks. It is an interesting design but the price put it out of our bracket. May be worth a look.

Kampa tents (especially the Ultimate range) have thicker 100 denier flysheets and other top end features (plus height) with specs that rival (and beat in terms of denier) other manufacturers, but really relatively affordable.
