As an ex owner of a lanshan but not the pro, you are talking about 2 different beasts of quality (or at least consistent quality).
I went to a X mid 2 solid and wish I did it sooner.
If you get the lanshan get a sponge to mop up the condensation as it’s single wall after all
Good afternoon campers, Lanshans are not that great. Ok for light use but the inners are not too robust also although the outer is the zips have had a tendency to break open. Fixable but annoying. A good option if you can pick one up cheap or in good second hand condition but check the points I've mentioned before parting with any cash. Plus point is they are surprisingly warm for at best a two season mesh inner. Three months solid experience of living in one and I've done the last month of cold weather in the UK in one. If you just want an occasional use tent and don't mind a bit of extra weight save yourself over a hundred quid and just get one from the OEX range but change the guy rope tensioners to the cheap plastic ones as the metal rings wear out rapidly. I camped through storm Babbette in one of these a couple of years back and it was solid until the tensioners gave out. It all depends on where you're going and what weather is expected. Hope this helps.
It is bigger than the regular, and since it doesn't have a mesh inner you have more useable internal volume as well. Condensation won't be an issue if you keep one or both vestibules open for ventilation (assuming no rain), otherwise you can just wipe any condensation away with a cloth. The tent itself won't actually form any more or less condensation than the one with a mesh inner. You can get 3FUL to seam seal the tent for you if you add it as an extra at checkout.
Honestly don’t think the condensation is bad in a lanshan 2 pro. I live in the uk so mainly use it in very wet/damp conditions. I’d definitely recommend

Spacious vestibule, strong in storms, but rainfly tricky solo.
