separate fly/inner tend to be better for ventilation, minimise condensation, pitching and packing a wet tent or if its raining, and choice of pitching (on some tents). as poster above says, a lot depends on your usage and conditions, so you might be better served by the vango.
I'm not knocking single skin or cheap tents (except above gelert) as they have a place. I have a cheapy Mountain hardware chinese copy that l use as a loaner and for festivals, and a nice one for backpacking/touring. Go to an outdoor shop to test a few out.
Tip: join CTC for £20-ish. Support a great organisation and get 15% off at cotswold (currently get 20% i think). you easily recoup membership from tent and future bike savings!
