There looks to be 2 cotton type versions this year as well as a few other additions.

Im liking the shangri-la and the Eternity with its canopy, the canopy looks like it has no lip so could store a powerchair in it no problem. Might wait and see how they weather this year after the amount of probs people had last year on their release.

Are you sure the Eternity is poly cotton? Everything I've read says it's poly. But it would explain why it costs the same as the Infinity 800.

I was liking the look of the Airbeams. What problems have they had?

Looking at the link, it look's like the Utopia 400 is the Polycotton version of the Eternity 400. Shangri-La is also PC. Says the Infinity is polyester.

Various problems last year with the Airbeams, was very tempted for the Infinity 400 but ended up with a Cabanon Guadeloupe. Quite a few videos on YouTube with leaky tents, burst beams due to heat etc and also alot of negative reviews on this site. On the other hand, there's also positive reviews which would indicate a QC issue rather than design issue. Noticed the Poly cotton versions myself, but at that price I would definitely be waiting a season until the reviews came in. Problems aside, I reckon Vango will get it right and the Airbeams will be a winner for them.
