I have been researching for a new tent and narrowed it down to either of the above as they are of the same price, 3 person size (good for one with kit) and aluminium poles.
The MSR is geodesic but inner pitch first but has the benefit of being free standing it is possible to pitch inner only or outer only. The fabric is rips top and it includes a footprint.
The Vaude is a pitch in one design and the entire tent suspends from the aluminium frame.
Both tents have two entrances and their weight and size are negligible when compared. I really struggled to choose between the 2 but ended up opting for the MSR. Time will tell if I chose correctly.
