Interesting(ish) thread as I'm just looking at replacing my Phad X2. It's done a great job but the groundsheet has become porous and I'm fed up of waking up in a wet sleeping bag.
My own criteria are that it needs to be a 2 man tent (in case the memsahib comes with me, also so that I can bring some clothes and valuables in with me in wilder parts) and it needs to have a vestibule with groundsheet to put helmets and odds & ends in (and so I don't have to crawl in mud to get in and out). A 3 man tent is tempting but the penalty is carrying round more weight and bulk.
After a lot of online research it's proving very hard to find a suitable replacement. I've found a few candidates but all seem to be sold out. Probably going to look out a tent display place in autumn.
