Looking for a shelter very similar to the aqua m3 compact ?

How similar would you like? The cyprinus M4 is exactly the same shelter. I owned one and directly compared it to the Aqua. Apart from the storm poles and a thinner groundsheet I could find no difference.
Cyprinus dont currently have any on their website, but if you type cyprinus m4 into ebay theres one listed on there for £250

You don't say if you want new or used but pretty sure the Cyprinus CAMO4 was the same bivvy

Indeed the cyprinus M4 camo compact is 100% a rebadged aqua product. When mine was delivered the box had aqua part numbers printed on it that matched the compact. This was also the same for the overwrap As far as I'm aware aqua did not end up actually market the M4 compact in camo in the end my guess it that these were possibly original 1st run but rejected aqua bivvys.).
I'm sat in my cyprinus M4 compact camo right now, must be about 4 Seasons old at a guess and it's been fantastic in all conditions.

Exactly the same as
I believe the fixtures that hold the front peak could be a little different though?

As a one man bivvy i prefer the Cayman over the M3/Cyprinus Camo (I had both) .... I found the latter over engineered, too many zips/windows etc and a tad small ..... Cayman is llighter and simpler to use. But the 2Man Cypinus Camo/M4 is a lovely bit of kit for the longer session when a step up in features is worth the extra weight/bulk etc and i prefer that to the 2man Cayman (of which i have both also 
)

Agreed, I've got the 2 man Cyprinus M4 which I use for France trips and it's a great size. I'd say it was more of a 1.5 man bivvy than a 2 man. Very impressed considering I only paid £237 with the wrap for it!...that was in 2019 tho

that would gripe me paying that much for Cyrpinus .... They were less than £150 new at one point. Might aswell pay the extra for Aqua and get the badge imo

i know the cost nowadays with them is so much higher
i got their camo fast and light for £125 including delivery a few years back,
and last year in a auction, the storm cap wrap for my compersite bivvy for £70, again in a auction
but i do know a few were looking for the m4,
