Ahhhh, not a simple as that Alstar. They compliment each other really.
For the price of a reasonable 8' x 12' greenhouse you can have a 24' x 14' polytunnel but growing in them isn't the same. As Adam says the ventilation is one factor to consider, ideally you need fans to push the air around as you don't have the natural movements like in a G/house.
That said, I'm looking to get one for the Lottie to go with the 2 greenhouse that I already own
Get hold of 'Gardening under Plastic' by Bernard Salt - the bible where polytunnels are concerned....
