These two aren’t totally comparable and I get that, we currently own the horizon. We got it at a snip a couple of years ago and we’re very impressed with the tent. More recently however we have been going on more frequent and sometimes shorter trips (2-3 nights) and it just seems so big, so heavy to lug around (although the wheeled bag is great) and so cumbersome to put up and pack away.
There’s only me my wife and our 5yo and we are considering downsizing to the Quechua, I don’t have any previous experience with the brand but ppl seem generally positive about these tents. It is smaller (mainly due to it being poled instead of air) and much lighter but keeps the benefit of the nightfall bedroom. The only thing we think we might miss is the use of the porch in poor weather however we can’t have our cake and eat it. Does anyone have any insight into whether this would be a comparable tent? Big downgrade? Or any other obvious tents we should consider?
Also thinking we could in theory add the Quechua XL tarp at the front in future to make up for the lack of porch.
