Should you UPGRADE your backpacking tent? Is it worth it?

Should you upgrade your backpacking tent? Backpacking tents are costing more and more so upgrading your tent requires some serious thought. What are you getting for the extra cost? You need to decide what sort of tent camping you want to do. Are you going wild camping? Are you going throughout the year in all weathers?

1 person tents and 2 person tents vary massively. To try and make it easier to compare the difference between budget tents and expensive tents I've used two tents from the same Brand.

These backpacking tents are:
MSR Elixir 1 - buy here for £229
