I posted a similar thread as I was torn between the Monty 6 and the Diablo 900, I went for the Monty (there are 4 of us so the Diablo was probably a bit big) but think about pitch sizes (alot of sites charge a premium for extra large tents). I also liked the Monty as I had heard that the Diablo is quite difficult to put up and as we were only going to use it mainly at weekends I wanted something quick and easy.

Good luck

We have had a diablo 600 and we found the quality to be excellent, it was a great tent. However we changed to the montana 12 as we decided we had enough of the 'saggy bedroom syndrome' and hated inner pitch first.

There are loads of diablo owners/fans on here so I am sure one will be along to reassure you further

to be honest we have the 600 and haven't noticed the problem with the saggy bedrooms at all. only kip in there anyway. find it a great tent and it looks the dogs b*******ks when its up.

We haven't had a great deal of experience with our 900,but we have pitched it four times.We had a bit of trouble the first time,but after that we found it fairly straightforward.I think its a great tent but like everything else its personal preference.We love the space it provides,but as minxie says you do have to consider pitch sizes as it is a big tent.

we had the 600 first and just bought the 900 in green .we love the space we have never noticed saggy bedrooms because we all have deluxe airbeds but at the end of the day you only sleep in them,The living area has loads of space and the porch we have used for cooking in ,a good all round tent
