By looking at the review video clip of the Cobra 2, It looks to me like there is good separation from inner and outer.

Thanks for finding that Wild Camper... yeah, I wouldn't say that was terrible; pretty average really. Wouldn't put me off.
They've also made the sides of the inner more solid which will help comfort in the wind (combined with the lower outer). I sometimes have to build windbreaks of gear in the old one as it ventilates a little too well.

Last year i got myself a  vango tempest 200
It has a 5000 hydro and is about 2.8 kg
I got it after spending a night in a Banshee 200 which is a great wee tent and a good bit lighter ,but not much room for kit especialy if there is 2 people
The vango has a good sized poarch area for cooking if the weather turns nasty or for keeping wet gear seperate at night.
But like all 2 man hiking tents is at its best with with one adult one child .
Also the leg room is good as i am about 6ft and never had any issues ,you can also sit up at the highest point when changing, all important points in this climate of ours.
hope you find this helpfull .
