I thought exactly this,
Until i got caught out in that serious storm earlier this year.
I had extra long pegs. Every storm pole and tension bar available was put up.
The brolly was not as solid as i would have hoped. At times the whole top of the brolly was pushed down and actually touched my head whilst lying down on the bedchair.
After the storm i found out that the extreme pressure of the wind and movement had caused screws that hold the inner ribs in place had completely just unscrewed and subsequently got lost in the grass. These screws are hard to replace.
I am still using it. I had to take out the inner tension bar and use the screws. I just cant and wont ever use it again in bad weather.

Shame, as i have found it pretty sturdy...but unless its the height of summmer, i always check the weather forecast and if the wind is getting to 25mph + ...i will take my titan instead.....but this year only the MHR has been taken and its been spot on,,,,,

Yes it was a bad decision. I am aware it was not wise. It was the strongest wind I have ever fished in so not a bad review really. Just was not impressed with the screws twisting out. At closer inspection they could be much better qaulity and better designed.
