Great durable dry bag
I've owned one of these (60L size) for years. I've removed the suspension long ago as I haven't done any trips with long portages. The suspension is modular so you can use just the portions of it that you need. All of it attaches to the bag with velcro. My bag may be slightly faded but it's still watertight and looks like it will stay that way for years. I'd recommend it highly.

Many pros and a couple cons
The large space in the center is great. We actually had it rain on our first trip out and this tent worked perfectly. The kids having their own section was also very nice. The pods though can feel a bit small (at least to my wife). Additionally having the center floor separate is great for clean up but allows bugs in (though not into the sleeping pods)which was a bit annoying. Set up is fairly easy once you do it a couple times and the color coded poles are great.

Top Quality Very Comfortable
We've only used this tent once so far but it has definitely lived up to our expectations. The only thing I will change is the tent pegs that came with it as they are the usual flimsy little metal pegs and I don't think they will hold a tent this big in the wind.
My partner is 6' 2" and he can stand up inside this tent quite easily. It can easily hold two double mattresses in the center section plus a mattress in each of the little rooms. It took us about 40 minutes to set it up the first time. It only has one mesh panel that can't be closed and it is not very large and is above the main entry door so it shouldn't let much dust in - we will be camping in the Nevada desert so this is an issue for us. It even has skylights. EDIT: Now that I've used it in the desert - it did hold up to the wind quite well once we attached the guy lines - BUT the mesh windows in the small rooms can't be completely sealed the flap that covers them does not attach at the bottom - so they did let quite a bit of dust in. It wasn't a huge issue as we slept in the center room but next time I'll seal these up.
It is HUGE though so you'll need to camp somewhere with lots of space. Which should be obvious but most tents that say they can hold 10 people would really only work for 5 or 6 - this one can *comfortably* sleep 8 adults. The center portion is somewhat free-standing but you do need to peg the side rooms and the front vestibule out or they will not stand up. There are lots of pockets to put things in inside the tent and there is one hook in the center to hang a light.

Handy but hard to roll
My husband and I bought the double size of this mattress. It is very comfortable and doesn't take up a ton of space in the tent like thicker air mattresses. It seems durable. It self-inflates well but rolling it and getting it back into the stuff sack sure is a hassle. It takes two people and a lot of effort. I think this is pretty standard with self-inflating mattresses but still probably not a good choice for the solo traveler.

"Condo" Tent
I spent the last 15 years backpacking and looking down my nose at car campers. THEN I had two kids 18 months and 4 1/2. I now appreciate the TRUE value of having seperate rooms (still waiting for tent-sound proofing technology) and the ability to stand up and change. If you are car-camping with kids THIS is the tent!!!!
