Hi 
Just wanting some advice on a new tent. I have a large, 2 bedroom tent with eating area in the middle which is great for 3+ people. Its quite heavy and needs more than 1 to erect.
As i cannot get friends together as regular as i would like, i would like to also buy a smaller, more manageable tent for me or me+1.
It doesn't need to be all singing, dancing, but i would like it easy to put up by myself and not too heavy. Its for a car so doesn't need to be too light.
I bought a 2 man from argos, which seemed perfect. Easy to put up and fairly cheap, but once i got airbed in it was far too small. So i'm looking at a single bedroom but a good size. Most seem to be 210cm, which, by time you put a airbed in, drops down to 190cm or so. I am 185cm so this meant head and feet touching ends of tent. I didn't like this.
So i am returning it and want a bigger one. 2 berth ideally but a reasonable size bedroom. Plus i would like a porch for cooking/sitting if raining etc.
Willing to pay up to around £100 isn.
This seems to be my favourite so far:

RRP is £160 ish, but i have found for £100 on amazon.
Another one i seen is:

Any advice from anyone would be great, i like them both. The outwell looks the better choice. Is there any down sides to these?
I am quite a novice at tent buying so feel free to steer me :)
Sorry for long posting :) and thanks in advance for any advice.
Barry
