Oooooh and a blue cross sale on now! Do metal poles make a big difference??
Less likely to bend and snap
More stable
Far easier to thread and so pitch
BUT
Heavier
More expensive

Glad you made your choice Stitches....
I am loth to give any input when a question such as yours comes up.....Sometimes the answers you receive just add to your initial confusion as to what piece of equipment to settle on....
I know that always happens to me when I post similar questions myself!!!
But for the record.....I used a Hi Gear Gobi 4 constantly (As in at least once a month) for about 3-4 years and it did me proud every time I used it...And it was only eventual wear and tear that made me move on...
Without appearing tent snobby....The only ones I would not touch are the ones from the likes of Halfords/Asda/Tesco etc which don't appear well made at all and seem to be aimed at first time buyers or very occasional users...
Enjoy your new tent....Now get off into the green stuff!!
