Brilliant tent...

No.2. is that the seams are not fully sealed and they give you a tube and instructions to do it at home, for a rrp of £125 i'd expect them to do it for me and worry i wouldn't do it right and so maybe it's not fully waterproof?
No.3. I would prefer Alu 'V' shaped pegs to the steel pin type this seems a bit cheap maybe?
No.4. the groundsheet is very thin - probably why they sell a seperate one I would worry this would perforate or wear through. I think most modern tents have a thin groundsheet though.
So overall it's very good but not perfect and I would recommend one is you want a tent that is quick to put up and take down.
Incidentally mine was £65 as last years models are being sold off.

1. sleep diagonally! thats what I did in mine!
2. if you seal them yourself, and they leak, you only have yourself to blame... i reseal ALL tents weather done at the factory or not.
3. steel although heavier are better as if bent can be straightened, the ally ones snap... 
4 use a piece thick poly the same size as the tent floor underneath, makes for a cleaner tent when packing away too.
BIG TIP!! DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BIKE KEYS IN THE INSIDE POCKET OF THE TENT WHEN YOU PACK IT AWAY........
