I have the Vango Delta 200. It works. But it's heavy and not that easy to carry on the bike. Best avoided. I'm gong to invest in a Banshee.

Dave - have a look at the ARTNW threads on Rideouts, the action happens at the end of April.. It stands for Annual Ride That Never Was, cos Ollie's Yorkshire thing beat me in a vote off. Not that I'm still p*ssed off, you understand

I like my Vango Alpha 300... upgraded a bit ago because it was a tight fit with the airbed, but it packs down nearly as small. Perfect for bike trips, as it wasn't as wide as my panniers.

I wouldn't go for that - looks a bit small (90 x 120 x 220 cm) for both man and kit. I'd say you'd be looking at least a two-man to be reasonably comfortable.
