We have been using a Missouri for just over 12 months for a family of 5 and have spent about 30 nights in it on various trips in a variety of different weather.  It is very waterproof and robust in wind - but would suggest using sun porch to avoid water getting in through door in rain and keeping heat in tent when colder.  The fabric is strong and the tent stays cooler than canvas in hot weather.  It is best if 2 people put it up - you need to take care that poles don't come apart when flexing.  The basic structure goes up quick and most time is spent pegging out the ropes.  Only minor damage to some internal bedroom pockets caused by kids jumping about but this is a very robust tent which we expect to last for some time.
