3 Man lightweight backpacking tent?

I am doing D of E and the equipment we get lent is ATROCIOUS! Think wrong poles, ripped flysheets and ripped groundsheets. So, I need a light-ish 3 person backapcking tent, suitable for 3 seasons. I have about £100 to spend. I have looked at the "Coleman Avior X3 Exponent". Have any of you got it, and is it any good?

This is a great tent in your price range and will get you there and back for years. I would stay away from the coleman. They were a great company but in recent years they have gone way down in quality.

    I don’t know much about the coleman but I have found vango tents to be very good for backpacking

    This would probably be the lightest 3 man tent. It is a little above your price range, though:
