Hello and welcome. For a family of 4 you need at least a 6 berth in order to have enough room for kit. Tunnel shapes are the most common these days and are rarely so huge that you need 2 pitches.
Air tents are great and very convenient, but are expensive and bulky. You are right that Outwell is a respected make but so are Vango and Kampa. Your budget may dictate whether an air tent would suit, or whether s traditional poled tent will be the one for you.
If you give us an idea of your budget then more accurate advice can be given. Second hand will give you more bang for your buck and at this stage in the year a lot of second hand bargains are appearing on Ebay etc so its good timing. You also need to think about packsize and the space in your vehicle too.

Conventional wisdom correctly days you need at least a 6 birth but if you are going for only weekends something like a 5 berth vango might be better as the put up and down time is quick. The boot on a Picasso soon shrinks one you put camping kit in :-)

The new Coleman range have full Blackout bedrooms, they should be on your shortlist if that's something you want
