I've got a few;

Hilleberg Keron 3 GT - my car camping with the wife tent.  Too bulky for hiking and possibly overkill for general camping purposes but an excellent tent.

Hilleberg Nallo 2 GT - my bike touring and two person hiking tent

Hilleberg Akto - my solo 4 season tent

MLD Trailstar + Oookstar - my solo hiking shelter kind of taken over from the Akto

Golite SL3 + Oooknest - my other hiking shelter bought on a whim and still to be field tested

Saunders Spacepacker - my first half decent tent not used much nowadays

I'm finding that most nights are now being spent in the Keron and the Trailstar.

I'd be pretty pissed off if I were you.  They should at least offer to replace it with the specification that you ordered and also turn that round as a matter of priority.  I bought one of the base camp bags in the last sale and it took about twice as long to arrive than they quoted.  But they did send me the bag I ordered and it is a brilliant bag, so kind of worth the wait.

I pitched my Trailstar outside and seam sealed it on the outside, thinning the Silnet with a little white spirts.  Pay close attention to the seams at the apex as I found that the walking pole and pressures caused the stitching holes to open a bit more than elsewhere.  I just ws a bit more liberal with the sealer in these areas.
