The catch would mainly be durability I reckon.
I would be looking closely at the quality of the pvc floor - hopefully it's nice and thick.
One thing I wasn't overly impressed by with the Oztrail versions, I didn't like their floors much, just didn't seem like they would be overly waterproof.
But as far as condensation goes even canvas has that problem,
well particularly if it sags and you get water pooling, then it does come through and drip inside the tent. In some ways at least nylon / pvc etc is easier to wipe down and dry off before packing away too.
Just wish I'd seen it back when we were in the market for tents especially at that price!! I'd say go for it, even if it lasts a year, at least you can decide weather it's the type of tent for you, and you can then upgrade.
On another thought considering we've had a Oztrail (or similar brand) ensuite tent set up over our bush dunny for a year or so, and it still keeps the rain out etc, surely you can't go too wrong with
buying a tent type material touring tent.
