I wouldn't buy anything from Quest on the strength of their embarrassing YouTube ‘review' set up alone. I think it has now since been deleted, but it was cringeworthy.

I had one of those Quest outer block things, utter junk, very poorly put together , sent it back for a refund.

If that is the one with the ‘pop up' mechanism don't do it unless you like swearing. The poles twist and bend back on themselves making it very awkward on your own.

What would you recommend in same price range with either inner casual or built sewn in groundsheet. Don't mind a second hand either

For your budget I would look out for a Trakker SLX V3 second hand if you need an inner capsule.

Slx v3 is a good choice but at £ 339.99 (Total fishing tackle) it is over Ts budget, they regularly have 10/15% discount codes.

I had sold my slx v3 plus after the summer, I regretted it so much afterwards that I bought a new one 2 weeks ago (luckily found 1), also bought the Armo V4 plus overwrap at Total fishing tackle (£29.99 lol what a deal)

Still love my Quest tackle defier when i go fishing with my amstaff, and now also an overwrap available.
