Hey Mumbo!
Yeah I've had that exact tent (actually still do, somewhere), and I wouldn't be a big fan. Mainly because of the pole and mounting system.
I prefer the 'freestanding' type tent, because it's much easier to put up as one person (or even two), and it doesn't require pegs if you don't feel like putting them in, or if you're in a place where it's hard to do so.
The Vango tents are all a bit of a pain in the hoop, in my opinion. With the freestanding type where the poles cross, they are much faster to assemble, no need for pegs if you don't want to.
So I still have my Vango Banshee tucked away gods know where, and I bought the MSR ELixir 3 man tent, which is what I now use on bike trips away. Excellent tent, in my opinion.
