I bought a Coleman Coastline for a trip a while back. Perfect size and features.
After about a 1.5 weeks of pack up and set down everyday the fiberglass tent poles started to break at the joins. 6 weeks later and after replacing over half of the poles the zip started to fail. The tent ended up just lasting the 13 week trip.
If I could got a more expensive version that had better fiberglass poles or shaped aluminium poles I would have.
So I am saying buy the best you can that fits the trip and your budget.
