I can see this getting very silly, very quickly, however, what would be your must have's in a tent?

I would say that a decent 2 man tent should have:
2 D shaped doors
I like the way the outer and inners of the vango tents are erected at the same time with the external frame.
Single piece ground sheet with high bath tub sides
A window for seeing if its worth getting out
Be of a mello colour and of course weigh nothing

My ideal tent would be the one i currently have, but bigger, with a window, slightly more waterproof, and not smelling of butter (long story).

I like it because sets up in seconds - the inner, outer, and poles are packed away connected. You take it out, fold out the poles, peg it down, and you're laughing! No messing around with trying to thread poles through the fabric or clipping in an inner. Yaay. After a long days walking, or whatever, that's the way it should be, surely?

It's a Khyam Vector I believe - haven't found many people who've heard of them though to be honest.
