Sorry I've no experience of Vango tents. It does look rather expensive, there are lots of tunnel tents around at a lesser price - and many members here seem very happy with them. Why did you want a frame tent, particularly? - is packed size and weight an issue, as frame tents to tend to be bulkier and heavier. I have to confess to a nostalgia for frame tents, as I do love the smell of canvas.. however we are looking for a new tent for next year and being a bit short of space in the car I think it will have to be a modern tunnel. I hope you have success in your search.
I think that this tent does look like a good alternative to a frame tent,. I think there would be lots of advanatges to this tent:- it's size/weight, the fabric would not need proofing, there would be less draughts, easier to erect.
We have just bought a Vango Aspen and have not used it yet, but Vango are a very good make. If you look on their website it explains the guarantee and what is covered. Good luck!!!

I have a vail . The last tent we had was a Campus Brekenridge 6 man. (same as a Vango Diablo 600) The Vail is huge but easier and faster to errect than the Campus. two of us can get it up in 30 minutes now (used 4 times)
the vail uses it space better than large dome tent like the Diable and you will have less griel when on a samller pitch
Best tent we have ever owned (we have owned at least 6)
It is a frame tent without the weight, smell or faded canvass
Vango are a reliable make, and Vail combines the rigidity of metal poles with the lightness of man-made fabric, so it is a real hybrid. The layout makes good use of space and it has good ventilation too. I would say it is a bargain at £300.
