Ours has arrived this morning!!
For us the decision was easy - the quality of the material, the layout is spot on and the amount of room you have. There are little things that aren't perfect, like the unsealed doors, but we're pondering about fixes for that once we've tested the tent on our first outing.
We looked at it first before we went to see the other tents, so we had something to compare it to.
I'm with Paul & Kate on the Croyde - there were untidy threads showing, it was very dark (maybe not helped by the dark hall) and it felt a little claustrophobic. Same with the Vango Euphoria - the quality was great, but it felt closed in. In fact, on one of the tents (either Croyde or Euphoria) I had to bend down to get out the side door and I'm only 5ft 3.. maybe they weren't shown to their best ability?!
Funny you say about the curtains going the wrong way - the ones on our Inspire zipped up and, where it was so hot, we ended up with zapped flies collecting in the 'pocket' the curtain created.. I much prefer them zipping down to prevent that happening. But, the girl from OR we spoke to said they'd had people saying the same as you, the zipped the wrong way!
I don't think this is our 100% perfect, keep forever tent, but it does for us for now until we see something else that grabs our attention.

We've not had chance to pitch ours yet - life's getting in the way :(
It is a big tent, but we've come from a big poled tent so its not big in our eyes. I don't think its one of the biggest out there on the general market. You certainly wouldn't get laughed off the camp site, don't worry about that. Just be honest when you book your pitch and they'll sort you out a pitch to size.
There's only me and hubby at the moment, but we do use a trailer. When we first got our old poled tent we literally had to pack the car to the rim and then hope it all fitted back in at the end of the weekend. It really wasn't fun, so we bought a trailer and then we bought a bigger trailer and now we can put 95% of our kit in the trailer and the coolbox and clothes go in the boot and we don't have to put the seats down.
The box that our tent arrived in said it was 54kg, so it's not light.. we weren't expecting it to be tho, as we had a Vango Inspire last year which was also very heavy. Same goes for the physical size, it took up a lot of room in the boot of my Honda CRV.
You will find the pack size/weight of the inflatables is always going to be that little bit heavier/bigger.
We're in the same situation as you, garden is a smidge too small to pitch, so in the past we've had to dry it out in the garage. Obvs didn't pitch it, but attached some washing lines to the ceiling and did the best we could to hang it up.
I cannot wait to get away with ours.. we missed the space our old tent gave us, the Inspire was a lovely tent but the OR is just amazing!!!
