I actually considered those tents for my trips here in Sweden, since there are almost always enough trees available. The exemption is if you want to camp directly at the coast/ beach, then you need a free standing conventional tent that you you can set up directly on the rocky ground. One aspect to keep me from buying one is the heavy weight. During summer I have been using an MSR Hubba NX, which is perfectly useable at a fraction of the weight!
