    Years ago a jeweler from Florida was at the VA Beach Boardwalk art
    show as we were. We had some bad weather and his EZ Up was damaged.
    He was not upset because he figured that they are disposable tents.
    Since the $180 to 200 models have come out at Costco and Sam's Club
    (with wheels on the bag and a short set up time, even with
    Rheumatiiod Arthritis) that really is a replacement cost to live
    with. We have purchased two, one went through almost a hurricne and
    still stood at the Boardwalk. Now the models even have the zippered
    corners like the expensive tents. We bought an extra heavy cover for
    $25 from someone who didn't properly stake down at another waterfront
    show; so now we have a heavy spare cover. Paarts are easy to come by
    from damaged tents and they are repairable. We only do a few shows a
    year now due to our health, but these tents work for us. I can;t see
    spending $1500 for a tent that takes an hour to put up. 

Good luck!
