Got a new ultralight sleeping bag for my birthday, and it occured to me that i don't actually have a decent tent - yeah it's currently a cheap job from Blacks, but it won't really hold up to anything serious.
I've been looking at Vango, since they've got a good track record, most people say they're built well and for the most part they're priced competitively. At the moment, the Banshee looks like quite a good option. It's enough for two people, it's pretty damn light, inner and flysheet, etc. The other option from Vango is the Spectre 200. It's slightly heavier, but quite a bit larger by the looks of it - so whether having a decent sized porch is worth it i dunno - the price is almost exactly the same by the way.

As you can see, prices are the same, but there are also other ones like the Tempest which is a bit more expensive.
So. Recommendations?
Specs need to be: Light - under 2.5-3kg, small pack-up, durable, good severe rain performance, inner and fly - NOT single sheet.
Cheers!

Since an extra 10cm on the end could mean the difference between it in my bag and not!
