the first two both have the wicked awesome mesh ceiling, but i'm in love with the third one. I cant see what i would need all the room for but i like to be ableto longe.
If it's just the two of you and you're only going to use it the once at 'roo, I'd probably go w/ the second one. The first one looks like it might not be quite as storm-proof as the second (although at $80 for a 5-6 man tent I'd doubt that it has no leaks at all). The Coleman doesn't look like it's made for ANY kind of bad weather, really just a screened sun shelter (storms can get bad at 'roo and you and your gear would get soaked).

the pictures are a little misleading. they all have the little zippered things that go over the mesh windows. Do thouse let in alot of water? i like that the two top ones come with a ceiling tarp but the coleman has a solid ceiling period. Furthermroe i'm gonna be using this tent at every bonnaroo from here on out and any other festival i travel to. No camping though.
I did a little digging and the Coleman tent actually sound pretty good, here are a couple reviews tinyurl.com/phc8o . It's heavy, but if you're not going far from the car that's not a huge concern.
Another good thing to invest in is a fold out canopy 8x8 or 10x10 they are good for shade from that Tenn. sun and it keeps the rain off you because it always rains at Bonnaroo. -Brian
I have a tent-related question. We bought a shade tent that does not have tent stakes or tent string. I've been to a few places (sporting goods stores, walmart, target) and can't find any tent string that cinches with one hand like what came with our tent. Do you guys know if this is something that can be bought?
