As a Vango diablo 900 owner, I'd say get the Montana 6.
Best tent by miles.

Outwell Montana is about as good as they get, but we also have a Coleman Tri-Space & its better made. Its only two pods off a central area, the one with three pods is the Quad-Space. Only issue with the Montana is its packed size. Comes in two large bags, that will fill the boot on a medium sized car. And the pole bag is heavy, very heavy in fact. Its straightforward to pitch, & being almost full height throughout its so practical. Having steel poles its very stable in the wind. The side entrance porch makes a good loo also.

We've got a Outwell Hartford XXL with front extension and it is mahoooosive
It's a brilliant family tent, 4 seperate sleeping pods and huge central area.
We use the front extension as the kitchen area.

What other stuff do people take? (Family car camping)Need a shopping list:
Fridge?
'leccy hook ups?
Gas cookerjust your bivvy set up
Seriously
we've got tons of kit for the family glamping expeditions the wife likes her comforts
Tent has a carpet it makes a huge difference to warmth/sound deadening
Kitchen stand for gas stove, double burner
big gas bottle
leccy hook up
fridge/plug in coolbox
wardrobes (yes)
tables
comfy big chairs (not crappy fold up ones)
8m flag pole with peapod flyer on it so we can find the tent on a busy site
toilet for night time kids emergencies
wind breaks to block your tent off to stop all and sundry strolling through your camp.
we also use a couple of big "really useful" boxes to store foodstuffs in, easy to move about and keep it safe from animal attack - dog
folding BBQ
china teapot and cup and saucer for the lady to have teaI know of others who take
microwave
toaster
electric kettle
mini washing machine.Yes its a lot of kit but boy do we enjoy camping

New 5m bell tent just arrived. Looking forward to using it. Easier and quicker to pitch, warmer at night and cooler during the day. Two other tents, both Vangos, one 8 man, the other a 3 man, broke poles last year.

Alpkit are releasing a 6 person dome tent this year - might be just what you're after, and a hell of a lot more stable than Vango offerings.
