They claim to 'cater for every eventuality' but isn't is just an option to increase the awning/living space? You still have the same number of bedroom inners, at the rear of the tent?
From that perspective, it's nice to be able to use it as an overnighter/weekender, or add the awning size of choice to make it a long-stay tent, but I'd also like to see a zip on canopy instead of just an enclosed porch, and it doesn't look as if any of those additional awning segments have a side door facility or mesh panels for good ventilation (just the small pop-open vents at the top of each window) so you could end up with a very long, very hot and stuffy tent?
Khyam introduced the modular tent (the Ridgipod) some years ago, and Coleman had a go with the Evolva. Both of them allowed for additional bedroom annexes and the Coleman had a kitchen ('Chef annex') as well. They didn't take off. Maybe down to price? Shape? Too fiddly to pitch?
If this Outwell is reasonably priced for the additional awning segments then I think it might be a winner due to its simplicity and rectangular shape (it's going to fit onto most pitches, unless you really go overboard with the extra awning segments). This might be particularly tempting for existing Outwell fans, who might go for this instead of owning 2 x tents. Then again,I have a sneaky feeling that many people on these boards actually like owning 2 x tents or more!
