I cannot find the dimensions of the Berghaus Lomond, so I cannot comment about its size.
Looking at the pics I can find on the web, I would say the living area is quite small, and not as big as the Khyam Freelander.
IMHO, I believe the Khyam Freelander is too small and cosy for 2 people. It is just right for me and my dog, and he is only a smallish Border Terrier.
The bedroom section of the Freelander can take a double blow up bed at an angle, and not much room for much else.
The 2010 Explorer which is a 4-berth tent, is slightly larger than the Freelander, and may be more suitable for 2 people. It is still available from Khyam at the same price as the Freelander! Bargain!!!
Again, like the Freelander, it does not have a SIG, however, the bedroom section is completely enclosed with a SIG.
For a lightweight fibreglass poles tent with the Rapidex system and a SIG, there is the Wayfarer, new for this year. It does not require any additional poles once the main poles are up, unlike the Freelander and Explorer. However, it is more than twice the price at over 400 GBP!!!
For that kind of money, I would get the Chatworth with steel poles and SIG instead. It is a 4-berth and plenty of room for two people.
I have the older and slightly bigger Excelsior XL that does not have a SIG. Again, it is a 4-berth tent, and I would use that when I go camping with another person with the dog.
Lastly, I am a great fan of the Khyam's Rapidex Quick Erect system, as they are a dream to pitch, even though the Excelsior XL is a tad too big to pitch on my own as I am only 5'2! I can easily manage to pitch the Freelander on my own though.
Hope this helps.
