Air tents have less individual items but are more bulky and heavy. What make to go for depends on your budget, they range from a few hundreds to the thousands of pounds.
Really the best option is to get to a tent shop or display and have a poke around.

Taking down an air tent is still a pain.
I admit it is really easy to put up, ours is massive and I can do it on my own but putting it in the bag in bad weather will test any relationship.
Its also heavy, ours is over 40kg its the size of the bag as well as the weight that makes it diffuclt and if you go polycotton they are even heavier.
I do love our air tent but they arent without their issues.

With an air tent you still need to peg out, you still need to unpeg and pack away, and they can be very bulky. The saving is nothing like you might think (or the press would have you believe).
We have both poled and air tents, and we think from our experience how good a tent is isnt defined by whether it is air or not.
All depends on your budget but trust me, if you have a big dog, a porch is useful and you should count one big dog as two people, so you'll be looking for a 5 man like the Kampa Hayling or similar.
If you arent sure then just borrow one and save your money.
