Ive narrowed down to two, both Vango F10 models and both two man.

The Helium or the Nexus, both of which are great tents and tick all my requirements.

But both offer slightly different advantages, in simple terms one is lighter albeit by only 1lb and one is more study but the pack size is bigger, but only by 10cm.

I really wish that l could see and feel them both side by side and do a direct comparison.

Order them both, pitch them in your lounge then send one back: it's what I did.

Oddly, but Vango do a ground sheet for the Helium but not one for the Nexus
