I've got the REI Kingdom 6, and have been impressed with how well it can be ventilated when it has the tech garage. There's a vestibule at each end, and if those are opened there is decent airflow. The fly can be staked out on the sides, rather than hooked on the tent poles, to get even more. Wind and amount of rain will limit how much you open things up, of course.
When I first got the tent without the garage I almost took it back. It seemed flimsy, the fly was loose and droopy, and the end the garage attaches to seemed silly with a big flat wall (wait, how many big flat sides does an oz tent have?) Then I got the garage and it was a complete game changer. Plenty of dry space for stuff you don't want in the tent, and plenty of room to get wet stuff off before you enter. Not to mention shade.
The only real knock on the tent is that it is fiddly to erect. In high wind I find setting up the garage first, into the wind, and then adding the tent works best if it can be arranged that way.
