If you have a look at the floor dimensions for the 2 man and think it will be ok then go for it. I also bought a nature hike 2 man for a different tour this summer, very light but very small (definite 1 TM size) and there was a big difference in quality to the Coleman. The Coleman was really well constructed and durable, naturehike not so much, but it worked ok for that trip. Really don't think you can go wrong with the Coleman. There is even room under the wings for muddy boots and comes with decent pegs too.

Thanks for those tips^ @TM @skinny.
Think the Cobra 2 at 2.2Kg is a reasonable thing ... and such a bargain. 3-person is a bit big for us, just me and my boy going cycling, although he's nearly an adult size now, I have an adequate three-person for when we go lightweight camping with his Mum too. I prefer to cope with less room and perhaps have a separate mini tarp for cooking in rain/resting in midday sun.
I have an aversion to that^ hooped design since I find water tends to collect in any nylon rippling on the top of them. It may not happen with that tent but I'd rather not risk it.
