I like polycotton too, BUT they tend to be expensive and bulkier than polyester. A polyester tent should give you four or five years, especially if you only go camping two or three weeks a year but, as others have said, the polyester tent will eventually degrade as it's exposed to UV light from the sun.
The Vango Casa looks as good as most other family tunnel tents, so I shouldn’t think you’d have any problems there. I have a similar tent (polycotton, though ;) ) that I use for my main holidays with my wife and three kids.
I don’t know if you’ve seen it but in the reviews section there’s an excellent, extremely comprehensive, review of the Casa.
On another topic – and you might have this covered already, but – a camping experience can be massively affected by the other camping kit you use. A decent sleeping bag and bed is pretty essential. Personally, I like Self Inflating Mats for both adults and children. They tend to be fairly bomb-proof when it comes to puncture resistance and kid-bouncing. They also tend to be far warmer than regular air beds. They’re available quite cheaply from places like Go Outdoors and even Aldi (sometimes). A carpet in the living area is also really nice, especially for the kids.
Good luck – report back and let us know how you got on!
