Put it up in the backyard this week to check it out. It's such as well thought out design, many little conveniences features, to make countless configurations. Plus it comes with stakes, attached ropes, two nice aluminum poles, and travel bag.
After buying 4 more just now (for gifts and an extra for me), I return to share the news with Slick Deals.
By the way, I just checked the price on Amazon for an MSR collapsible aluminum pole of the same size/quality and 1 pole is $79. So you can literally get this whole set for $10 less than the price of one pole.

My 4 season M.H. Trango mountain tent withstood windstorms. large hail, heavy rain and snow. Nice to be able to close it up to prevent hypothermia, The substantial frame prevented collapse. When the fly de-laminated even with good care M-H stood behind it. Trango is $$$$ but real protection costs money.
R.E.I. is a great place to get the correct equipment for your specific needs.

Keep in mind, a 2 person tent is narrower than a full size bed at the feet and some prefer a 3 person tent for 2 people. If you got one of these

I personally still use a 5 lb 2 person REI tent that I got year ago and never had issues with the weight. My son's old scout troop backpaked a lot and their old Kelty tents were even heavier (over 6 lbs each) but were never a problem.
The average person is not getting these to through-hike the PCT. They are section hiking a trail and will be out for about a week or two tops. An extra pound is not likely to be noticeable. There are also other areas where you can easily shed weight and spend a lot less money doing so. The least expensive is shedding the weight many people carry round their midsection every single day. My recommendation is to get something with decent quality that is affordable (ie avoid cheap walmart tents) so you can actually get out and use your gear. If the hobby sticks, then upgrade the gear as needed. There is no need for new people to go out and spend thousands of dollars on ultralight gear, if they use it once before getting relegated to a closet.

Probably time to get a backup, so many options here...
I mostly kayak camp, size of the packed tent is more important to me than weight (my yak is very bouyant, but I can only strap on so much gear)
