Best Grow Tent for Breeding and Testing?

So after some time this unit farm :

There's constant frays I've burnt off the inner light flap they just keep fraying back up again.

When I open the tent by the zippers it rocks back and forth... makes me quit uneasy. All the poles and corners are metal so hopefully it doesn't implode on me. If it does then the place I got it from can pay for everything that breaks.

The outter "canvas" isn't water proof at all, i had the lower zipper flap piece fall in my tray and it wicked up the water like crazy.

The middle zipper is upside down, whether that's intentional or not IDK, but it's really fuckin dumb to have to tinker with this stupid middle zipper on my knees to get the fuckin tent closed. That's a huge oversight, a huge PITA. It's so bad I'm thinking of paying someone to take it off and flip it.

I said last time I bought a tent with multiple doors I'd never do it again and here I am with a tent with multiple zippers to get the doors open. There's ways they could use two curved zippers and get rid of 90% of the chance of light leaks and still keep the same tent design more or less.

Now as for the fabric, I went and checked out Gorillas and it feels just as thick, nearly identical feel. The mylar is quite reflective plants have more even growth than under reflectix

Well I went ahead and ordered the Gorilla 2x4 HD. It's on it's way should have it soon. I figured you get what you pay for and I didn't want to regret spending money on something that isn't going to make me happy. Thanks for all the input folks!

Light leaks... have to be pretty considerable or something because I mean my tent is closed up well enough to be mostly dark but I’ve grown before seed to harvest and never had a hermie and there are definitely little bits of light that I can recall getting to the plants during dark period. I think it’s about the light being a significant source comparable to whatever grow light they thrive off of. So if it’s like a much weaker source of light and specifically if it’s a duration of exposure that’s less than five minutes then you have nothing to worry about. I heard some guy on here saying the glow of his computer screen would illuminate his plants all the time and no issues. Outdoor plants sometimes I’m sure grow in places that have outdoor lighting or cars headlight , street lamps, etc that reaches them. But yeah it’s a big no no generally to expose them to any light at all during dark time.
