having owned both, i'd pump for the Kangri once, twice and a hundred times.
i had the Ultra Quasar for 12 years, i used it all year round in the Lakes, Scotland, central Asia, the Falklands and South Georgia. it did the job it was advertised as doing - except the bit were a pole snapped on a dead calm, warm spring day in Langdale...
the Kangri however does that job better: tweeks to the design of the height of the tent, the door, the porch etc.. all make the tent much easier to operate in/out of and - i think - more weatherproof. i've had it 3 years, and while i've not used it as much as the Quasar because i'm now old, fat and have three children and a wife to entertain, i've used it in pretty grim wind, rain and snow winter hill conditions in Scotland, North Wales, Dartmoor and the Falklands, and i'm convinced by its stength and design.
saving £160 also bought three long weekend trips to Scotland...
