I have both the older and new version.
The old one with the orange flap lasted me around 15 years before I seam tape started to let go. I could easily repair it and still get another 5 years out of it for sure. I did manage to wear a hole in the floor but it was easily repaired. The only down side is there is no vent in the orange fly. You can leave the zipper open but then you get some water in the vestibule when it rains at night. I did find there was always a condensation build up on the inside of the fly but it usually didnt get in the tent unless it was windy.
The new version, the Hubba Hubba NX has smaller diameter poles so the parts are not interchangeable. I think it does come with vent now. I have not used it yet so I can not comment on it but if its as durable as the original its a very good tent.
