Bloke selling one on ebay, item 8706890812 , doesn't seem as enthused as
some members on here were!

That is this year's tent. Last year's was a completely different
animal.

The web-counter on this item is going up at a cracking pace!

Probably because of all the publicity he's getting here and on other
NGs.

.....now there is a surprise. I always suspected that "some" of the
bods who whoooped it up were employees of Argos.
I could be wrong. { ; - )

No, we're talking about two very different tents here. Last year's
model was a proper tent with separate flysheet; easy to pitch, even in
the dark; waterproof and toasty warm. Its only problem IMO is the very
small vestibule, which doesn't provide enough room to use the Trangia
(or cheap copy thereof, in my case), so in wet weather it's a bit of a
pain. This year's tent is the single-skin aberration that's for sale on
eBay, and is generally reckoned to be a very poor relation to its older
cousin.

Indeed! Never mind the vintage of tent, reading the description/ Q & A was
the most theraputic 10minutes I've had all week.
