I have neither of those tents.  And I generally prefer Outwell....

I would definitely go for the Maritsa.  From what I've read on here the leak problems are all sorted for this year's models.  We saw a few pitched when we were camping this year and they looked really good and withstood the wind an drain well. 

Bizarrely I didn't see as many Montana's this year, but the ones that I did didn't look as roomy or as sturdy.  (Although that could have been down to the quality of pitching).

Listen to someone far more qualified than me [but then buy a Maritsa ;-)  ]

Sorry, just realised that sounded a bit rude. Meant to say, I am aware of it, but thank you for posting the exact links to the good deals anyway because I don't always know where they are.

We have a Maritsa 700 2011 model with the additional porch. it was the 2010 model that had all the problems with leaking. Vango did sort this issue out for 2011. Also note that some suppliers are selling a model 2012, but vango have not made a new maritsa 700 for 2012.

Its a fantastic tent with loads of space, easy to pitch, stands up very well to high winds and heavy rain. We have used it 6 times this year and its brill.
