I didn't think I'd like the dirt floor in my Komet when I got it, but having used it in the field, I'm inclined to say that having no canvas floor in the tent makes it a lot more practical. For one thing, when we did dishes, we didn't have to worry if water got on the ground. In a couple hours it was gone. For another, we didn't have to concern ourselves with accidentally damaging the floor by moving containers, furniture, etc. We stored the Coleman generator in the tent as well as the LX90 when it wasn't being used. Worked out well.
