The only con for me was no mesh on the main door. I detest bugs but decided I could compromise on this one issue as the tent has everything else we wanted, but like you i dont understand why there is no mesh on the front door. However it arrived today from the family tent shop, brilliant deal and service and we can't wait for our 1st camp in it.
Did you go for the Air version of the Hayling? How did you find the quality of the Kampa compared to the Outwell? Some people on here mention poor quality seams etc..
Our first tent was a Eurohike without a sewn in ground sheet and we noticed all sorts of creepy crawlies coming in! Safe to say that tent only lasted for 1 trip!
Must admit our Kampa Croyde 6 did have a seam that leaked but it was easily fixed with a bit of seam sealant and Kampa were excellent in the way their customer service treated us! I understand Outwell customer service leaves a bit to be desired at times!
All manufacturers have problems occasionally, I think Outwell had a bit of a torrid time with leaking seams not so long a ago. Even the best companies cannot check every single tent, it's the way they deal with customers and the problems afterwards that counts.

Just a thought, but wouldn't it be cheap and easy enough to knock together a mesh door using self adhesive magnetic strip and net fabric?
