Never used any of those but have you considered the MSR mutha hubba. Fantastic relatively light and bloody easy to put up. I used one of these on my last big trip and it never failed me once.

one word KHYAM get a 2 man or even 3, they are bulky and fairly heavy but with practice up in 45 seconds and tons of room for gear with porches that zip up front and rear.....one fro storing gear one for getting in n out..

In three words not very good.... its single skin so condensation forms on the inside, the slight breeze and it then rains down on you inside getting everything wet. The shape is always against you, the pole is in the middle - great. but you then can't sleep in any sort of logical way, you get space around you that is not used. Try one and you will see.

Have a look at the Argos branded (same sort of shape/single skin arrangement) tent and the reviews they get and make your own mind up. My opinion.... don't get one.

I've had a tentipi for years and I absolutely love it, one of the best pieces of kit I ever got. Expensive but it'll last forever and is bombproof.
