TENT
Having spent a few weeks looking for a lighter tent for solo use & two at a push use I finally settled on a new Wild Country Coshee 2 which seemed to tick most of the boxes I wanted & came in at 2kg.
The tent was ordered for a knock down price of £89 at Oswald Bailey online. The day after ordering I received an email to say that the Coshee 2 was out of stock but they could offer me the Coshee 3 at the same price - while I was tempted by the extra living space I felt that I was going the wrong way weight wise but was then offered a Zephyros 2 or Banshee 200 in exchange.
I opted for the Zephyros & the new tent arrived within 24hrs - superb service & can thoroughly recommend Oswald Bailey.
Anyway I pitched the tent in the garden - first time a max of 10mins, a few irritations with tension & the pegs are awfully short/sharp.
Spent a few hours reading reviews & instructions then pitched again the morning after. Vast improvement but still could be better so some mods are planned before the first hill outing.
First impressions:
Easy to pitch but will take some practice to tension. 
Pitches easily as an "all in one" style.
Some mods needed - lineloks, Dyneema guys (V guys at ends), hanging loop on inner.
Take out the end poles for packing - the pack size compresses down really small & the pole back slips nicely down the back of the pack.
Short sharp pegs are rubbish - new Terra Nova Ti pegs on order.
All in all I can't wait to get this tent out for some serious testing in the next month.

ORTIK JETSTREAM 2

What Ortik say - "The JETSTREAM tents are base and advanced camp tents developed to endure the toughest conditions. The structural concept with 14 pole crossings offers tremendous resistance to strong winds and reduces the area between poles keeping the fly away from the inner tent. Its shape allows both occupants to sit anywhere with comfort, minimizing the claustrophobia effect. The colour scheme illuminates the interior in the morning and evening and shadows it during the heat hours."

Bought for a bargain £250 from good old eBay. Brand new & still tagged up from a cancelled expedition.
First pitch in the garden was easy & straightforward. Pitching was self explanatory & total time taken was about 10 minutes with no instructions used.

First outing was to Cooper's Campsite in Edale. Again the Ortik pitched easily & with it being freestanding could be moved to the desired spot once up. 
Plenty of internal space & good headroom. Also plenty of condensation on the inner fly in the morning!

Good points:
Easy to erect.
Stable.
Useable space.
Storage shelves along each side internally.
Good size porch.
Light & airy inside.

Bad points:
Condensation (this is a 4 season tent though)
Heavy (full weight 4.5kg)
