You're wrong mate, and your statement is very narrow minded imo.
I literally just bought a TB last week - not the Advanced, not the 100T, not the bloody vents and skull caps and god knows what else. Just the bog standard TB - because it's the lightest version.
The vents make zero sense to me. Why would I want to add weight just to have big holes in my brolly? I don't spend hardly any time in it, I just sleep under it and shelter from rain. The vents offer me zero benefit. I am not one of these guys that spends their day cooped up under a shelter watching an ipad.
BUT - I can completely understand that others do spend time sitting under it, which is fine. The vents make perfect sense to those guys. They add comfort value.
We all have different priorities and the choice is there for all of us. Best for me isn't best for the next man. To say the version you like "outshines" the version that suits others is just ignorant imo. Better or worse depends completely on the priorities of the angler/user.

I'm ready to buy a new shelter now, I'm leaning towards the advanced. Cheapest I can get for is 399 delivered. Anyone else beat that? Thanks in advance

There are a few worrying reviews on Facebook with regards the material of these Tempest - water seems to be soaking in and not repelling .... People are having to Fabsil from new 
... I personally think the Tempest Brolly is the best of the lot ... Rest of the range seems overkill/over engineered to me with no gain over a 2 rib peaked pramhood.
