Here is a short review from the Backpacker Gear Guide issue.
"The Chaos impressed testers with a fast, simple pitch (thanks to its hubbed poles) and ample floor space for two. Two doors and vestibules enhance livability. Downside: Slack fabric flapped in strong winds and make it hard to operate the door."

I haven't heard of them before, but it looks interesting. Also note, that on their website they have a "Pro Tester Program", where it looks like you can save 40% off the price of your tent, so that could be an interesting way to go to reduce some of the risk.
