Close...I was thinking of the Eos 6 you could sleep the other way (feet to zip) which would work better (IMO) and for a couple leave out the second inner giving more living room.
It's a nice tent at a really good price IMV but I can't see that I would want to use one over something like one of our Cabanon collection or a Bear Lake.
Personally I'd drop the amount of kit, or as you say Woofers, find a solution that works for both of you - even taking two vehicles is presumably cheaper than buying a new tent?

This doesn't hit all of the marks for you, but what about something like this
This is the place we spent most of a day in coming back from Germany the other day and they have loads of cotton/polycotton tents - a much bigger selection than in the UK and very well priced.
It's worth a trawl through some of their tents. The Coleman Eos was really cheap I remember but don't think you'll like it up against your Bear Lake.
Thanks - I really like that one in the link but its way over budget, I'll have a look on there tho so thanks for the linky

Really! Brilliant! Did you order before you left home?
lol naturally. I made sure that it would be a good time after we arrived. gave them my mobile number and mentioned it to the warden when we arrived. Life doesn't have to be difficult lol.

A bit left field but, if you need all your home comforts but not the stress of setting them all up and down for a weekend away .... have you thought about hiring a static just for quick trips? Should be do-able outside of school holidays I'd have thought.
I used to store our touring van on a campsite who towed it on and off the pitch for us whenever we were going to use it, and that was a great arrangement but a bit heavier on the £££s to set up than I think you are budgetting for right now.
