It's a great tent, we love ours and those huge windows are brill, if you've never pitched it I suggest the Gary cross method. Do a practice pitch before you go too

Don't all Go stores have their display tents outside all season? i'd be concerned it wouldn't have the longevity of a brand new one and in the long run cost you the price of a new tent sooner rather than later.

Just remember a polyester tent has an approximate life span of equivalent to about 6 months exposure to the elements,so one that has been outdoors all season will just about have had it.
The suns rays break down the fabric,it becomes brittle and de-laminates from the waterproof coating

De-laminating and brittle flysheets can creep up on you without advance warning, but if you are prepared for a couple of weeks holiday for £125 then if you get longer its a bonus. Its worth noting that some retailers sell on display tents after only 2 months at bargain prices so that the buyer gets some life out of them or for spare/repair.

Love our set-up and need no more tents or gear, so trying to stop looking!
