I have a Vivosun. Paid around $100 for it. You can get a 5 x 5 for $129 on Amazon.

Decent tent?

I don't have any complaints. Metal frame, three vents on the bottom, three at the top, one in the ceiling. Cross bars for hanging your light, fan, filter, etc... It serves the purpose it was intended for. There are more expensive tents but I'm completely happy with the Vivosun. In fact after I bought the 4 x 4 I was satisfied enough to by a 2 x 4 for a veg tent. I'm completely satisfied with that as well.

A have a Appolo 4x4 and 5x5 and have been happy with both of them. Most look to be made by the same company.

Gorilla has very thick material, it feels much thicker in your hands than a vivosun or apollo.
That being said, my 5x5 Apollo is a very well built tent, and has served me well. It has little fabric strips sewn into the back of the zipper, so they overlap and keep out the light.
I would buy an Apollo and save the cash for other stuff.

I ordered myself a 5x5 gorilla. I like how you can get extension kits.

And for the price of an extension kit you could just get another tent.

I dont want another i want the extension i already got 3 el cheapos they have done me well.
The cheapest totally lightproof tent in a true 60" x 60" x 80" format is made by VIPARSPECTRA, you can find them from $89 to $119 depending on where you buy it. I like getting my tents from Amazon because if it does has leaks you can just send it back without a hassle. But I have personally bought 10 of those for some of my patients that enjoy growing their own medicine and all of those 10 tents had no light leaks and they are made really well!

I can do pull ups on any of my tents. As long as they are metal interlocking framed with metal corners they work just fine.

You guys must be buffed - doing all those pull-ups! 
Makes me wanna add a pull-up bar to my rigid foam 'room'.
