The difference between a bivvy and even a very small, single-skin tent is immense, because you're not in contact with the fabric (other than groundsheet) in a tent. Much more restful, as you don't get soaked in condensation.
Looking at the reviews of the Gelert and lanterne's experience, it seems I was lucky with mine. OTOH, the only real problem reported seems to be the poles - I'd be inclined to just bring some gaffa tape with me as the tent itself is reported to be dandy and there's nothing to touch it for anywhere near the same price.
