Need a new camping shelter

[sciphi]

My cheap-o 10x10 camping shelter/pop-up canopy succumbed to a severe thunderstorm this past weekend, and I'm looking for a replacement that can withstand rain better. The old one was easy to put up and take down, but was a bit flimsy. Oh well, I got 3 years out of it, and for $75 what can I expect. I'd rather buy one good shelter instead of buying cheap shelters every 3-4 years. Both EZ-Up and Caravan have negative reviews on Amazon, so I am not sure whose shelter to purchase. Any hints/suggestions are welcome!

The LL Bean tents sure seem nice. I think they have a decent warranty on them if I'm not mistaken. Went to one of their camp site years ago in Maine and the tents seemed super nice. Link:

I have actually been impressed with the build quality of the one I got at Walmart. It was around $100 and has several accessories available(rain or sun walls, lights, etc). It is the tan colored one.

I actually got an E-Z Up at K-Mart recently on sale for around $75, it's survived one thunderstorm already with no damage.

Springbar makes some of the finest products out there. But good American made products cost.

Bean has a shelter that gets great reviews. And it has a good warranty. But, it is quite a bit. Oh well. Decisions, decisions.
