After a bit of umming and ahhing in my tent collection, I've decided to move this along.
Incredibly lightweight, just over 1kg, it's a great bikepacking / hiking tent. Good review on Bike packing.com if of interest. Packs down into it's own little bag nicely with it's one pole and two pegs.
I've slept in it a total of 6 nights now. It's quick and easy to pop up and down, and you can sit up inside (I'm 6ft).
Doors on both sides and adjustable floor width for bags / storage / stopping the water dripping in when doors open.
One thing of note is the little clip on one of the vents has come away. Not through use, might always have been like it tbh as I've never used them.
I bought it 2nd hand unused for around £200, and I've seam sealed it myself (sorry it's not the tidiest job, but not leaked in the rain when I've used it!) Thinking about £150 Inc postage.
