Which tent , C Scott vs BCF?

[Kennichi]

No seriously which tent,for the crossing Russia vis Kazakh and Mongolia trip I am leaving in 15 days with.

In that I was reading Chris Scott's adventure motorcycling hand book and he says a £30 cross over type dome tent will suffice while the BCF state that this type of tent will utterly fall apart and be worthless and that I should be looking at the £150-£250 tent range.

Who has done a transEurasian trip and what tent did they need?.

I'm thinking compromise something like a vango spirit 200 lite (3 season)for £99, or maybe an Aztec Equina tent which is a 4 season tent for £90.

Oh and there will be many nights spent camping rather than just occassional use city hotels in Russia maybe cheap but camping is cheaper and you can go out to the back and beyond.
