Having heard similar stories to what Husky1600 just relayed, I'd be interested in what "twice as much" would actually be if it was made in NZ... if that meant it would last twice as long, as well as being the perfect tent/tents/system - pleasing the connoisseurs like @Puffin (that is some bloody amazing work there, mate!), then you might find it's not that much of a deterrent? Or look at finance options to spread the load? I'd certainly think about it.
