Also had a look at at some reviews and it looks pretty good. Double vestibule/entry which is good. And from pics it looks like theres plenty of sit up space. And at 155cm wide I know a lot of brands that would claim that as a three man or close to it.

Yes it was brand new from a retail store here in Australia.
2.62kg, 2 side vestibules, 4 seasons, free standing and above all, great construction.
Couldn't be happier.

That's a very good price here in Aus (and importing BD from overseas is difficult), and it's certainly a proper 2 man tent unlike most. Great find

Cheers for that. I'm looking very seriously at it's slightly bigger brother the Squall - for 600 grams extra it is 59 cm wider which will give us plenty of space, and it looks very easy to set up as well. I'm hoping to find somewhere that stocks one so as I can see it in the flesh.
I've been putting the various tents on an spreadsheet with their weights, interior dimensions, floor and fly water HH, packed size etc and then highlighting in red any features I don't like, and green anything that is especially good. Eliminating any tents that have a red feature has narrowed it down considerably and is making things a lot easier.
