Here comes an opposing point of view  what if you can't stake? Like in loose sand, on concrete, etc.
RE the MSR Fury tent, I've seen one in action - impressive but where is the ground sheet under the entrance? Not much use for storing stinky bike gear outside the main space and keeping it dry...
Oh and tarps. Decathlon do a very cheap one (£20 inc guys and pegs) that I'm bringing to Ripley... not a clue how to pitch it, could well be memorable!
