Had a good look at one of these last year, but discounted it eventually for one major reason, there's no such thing as flat ground- which is what you need for a tent like this to work properly. The Inner tent has a waterproof tub, but (IMHO)it's not very strong underneath and a footprint under groundsheet is essential if you want to protect the bottom from the effect of ground rubbing. As it will be used on a daily basis it's going to get well used. The outside area of the tent has no ground sheet, and however hard you try water will get under the edge and make things damp and uncomfortable.
In dry warm weather, I 'm sure it's fine, but for me a tent must be a dry comfortable place whatever the weather.
I agree wholeheartedly about not liking crawling around in a tent, and this summer has been a game changer for me as my knees have started to complain. My Khyman Biker Tent has stood up well to indifferent weather although my last trip down to the France mini meet was just about the last straw as I did get a bit damp in the outer tent, ( mind you it was a flood!).
I am also looking to change for something a bit taller and with a built in heavy duty groundsheet throughout. Yes it will be heavier, but I'm prepared to accept that for a degree of essential comfort.
