Gordigear Tanami Pro vs Gordigear Tanami Ultra Light 130
Both of these are Gordigear tents, so the question is not which brand to trust but which size and configuration suits your vehicle and how you camp. The Tanami Pro and the Tanami Ultra Light 130 share Gordigear's construction and warranty; where they part company is in the numbers below.
By the numbers, the Gordigear Tanami Pro brings 66 kg, 4.61 m² of floor, 130 cm of headroom and sleeps 2. The Gordigear Tanami Ultra Light 130 counters with 45 kg, 3.22 m² of floor, 130 cm of headroom and sleeps 2.
The Tanami Ultra Light 130 is 21 kg lighter at 45 kg against 66 kg, which on a factory roof rated for 68 to 75 kg is often the difference between a legal fit and a rack upgrade. Inside, the Tanami Pro gives 4.61 m² of sleeping floor against 3.22 m², about 43 percent more, though both are rated for 2. The Tanami Ultra Light 130 lists about 44% lower than the Tanami Pro.
Canvas differs too: 320 gr/m2 ripstop polyester-cotton blend, waterproof with polyurethane impregnation against 265 gr/m2 ripstop polyester-cotton blend, polyurethane impregnated and UV resistant.

Which one to pick
