I have owned several tents, and I've went the Ozark Trail route...first time I put it up, one of the tent peg loops broke off, it rained and the tent leaked like there was no rainfly. So, when I bought my second tent...I stepped up and went with Coleman...better quality, didn't leak..much. I mean it had to be really coming down for long period before water found it's way inside, and the tent lasted for several summers before being retired. I now have one of the newer dome type family tents that seems to be doing a good job..believe it's a Coleman as well.

I think you first have to look at Climate. Here in OK, Spring time camping season is also Thunderstorm and raining season..so the tent has to be able to stand up. If you feel that the both tents are equal...then I would go with Coleman. Just an opinion.
