When you go with REI you are getting quality, durability, weight difference and essentially the best bang for your buck. There are more expensive brands and cheaper brands too but i think REI hits the sweet spot, while still pricy its the best balance you can get. Also id look into it but this one stays warmer too.
With that being said my broke ass still has a cheap random tent 😂
Some of us aim for a bit more adventure than car camping, thanks.
If you plan to camp at a campground near a road, you don't need this tent. There are much cheaper tents that will suit you perfectly.
If you only go ultralight, you don't need this tent. There are lighter tents out there, although oftentimes more expensive.
If you don't plan on camping in the winter/snow, you don't need this tent. There are cheaper, lighter tents for the other 3 seasons.
This tent is for backpackers who want a reasonably light double-walled tent with adjustable ventilation that will serve them from summer through winter and stay solid through moderately heavy winds near the treeline.
Plenty of people can make do with a Coleman tent or their car and that's perfectly fine. This isn't for you. But don't tell other people what they need, as if all of us camp in the same way. Hell if I'd bring an Ozark Trail tent on the PCT.

Personally I'm just taking a Home Depot tarp and a sleeping bag. I call that "The Bearrito" especially when I store all my food in my pockets.

The Half Dome 3 is a bigger tent and would do fine in fair weather camping. Of course the tent can be taken in the snow but I would not feel comfortable in a snow storm unless you plan to clear the roof with snow.
There are other 3-4 season tents with larger floor and more doors but those will cost considerably more. I think this is a great price for what this tent can do.
