Went in to buy a tunnel style came out with this one. $450 Au, but seems cheaper in US. Don't know about UK. I ffound this had so much more room & lighter (therefore > expensive) than the one I intended to buy

It has both front and long side entrances, goes up quickly, handles the wind well, never leaked and is a reasonable weight (2.4kg) Of course there's better tents, the mesh inner makes it unsuitable for cold weather and more space for the weight is available if you're prepared o spend more, but for 3 season cycle camping I found it more than adequate.
If you shop around you can find them for under £70.
I replaced mine with a TN Solar2.2, a better tent in every respect, but at four times the price it's certainly not four time better.
