When looking for our first tent lately we looked at both of these, in the end didn't buy either, however we came close to buying the Montana.
We preferred the Outwell Montana as the interior is much lighter, partly because of the roof being white and also the panoramic front lets in lots of natural light.
Inside the Vango the daylight has a green tint due to the material, and with it narrowing at one end I thought that the front section was quite small for a tent that required quite a large pitch - It`s not much shorter and is wider than the Outwell XLP that we bought, which has more interior space.
So between the two I think the Montana is a nicer tent.

Never put off until tomorrow something you can do today.
Because if you do it today & enjoy it, you can do it again tomorrow!

I will offer my view and say the Maritsa. We've had ours for two years now and can't fault it. The pure size of the unit makes it a versatile and comfortable unit. There is 2 adults and 2 children in our family and the tent is perfect for us. The spare bedroom serves as our storage and wardrobe. The porch serves as our kitchen area. And there's plenty of space in there for shoes etc.
Me and OH can put up the tent in 20 mins and whilst the wife makes "home" I finish off the guys etc.
I think it is a good solid tent and can be relied upon in the worse weather.

I too can vouch for the Maritsa Love the space and height of the tent. We've only put ours up three times (including test pitch) and have got it down to about 30 mins plus guying out time. One thing I'm not so happy about is the sloping door; bit of a pain in rainy weather.

I would have to say the Monty.
We have just replaced our old version off the Montana with the new version.
We love it. So many windows that makes it light and bright.

I do like the Marista as well but to be honest i was torn between the Monty and the Kampa Croyde.

I would say the Marista as well. Bought it this year, and just had our 3rd trip away, 11 days in France. It's a great living area, we've 2 kids, 8 and 11, and they usually share the smaller pod and we use the middle pod for wardrobe/ storage. The kitchen area is great, and all of the windows make it very bright.
