Coleman cobra 3
Yup 2 people. 2 pretty clueless campers. Planning many practice erections before we get there.
That looks like an interesting shout and certainly a lot more economical than some of the others I've been looking at after discounting the ordos.
Riddles-
The tent is a separate inner and outer but pitches as a whole in about 10 mins once you've done it twice. There is an excess of guy lines, and a webbing strap runs across the underside which tensions the inner really well. The profile of the tent is low. We weren't in extreme wind conditions but had some pretty high winds (Holland is famous for these) and even not using all of the lines the tent didn't struggle at all. I carried the poles in my frame bag and rolled/stuffed the rest into a dry bag (can't remember the size, same as comes with a Restrap saddle pack) and strapped this to my rear rack which really improves the pack size.
I understand tent is an important decision but I wouldn't discount the Coleman without further research, really is a great tent.

2 people?
I was really impressed with the Coleman cobra 3 I took to Holland this summer. Plenty of room for 2 and baggage. Held up to a couple of very heavy rain storms well.
