As it is, I am considering the following routes(listed in order of likeliness):

1. PurchaseEureka Spitfire Pros:CHEAP $100! kinda roomy, side entry. Cons: Weight 3+lbs (even though its listed at 44oz)

2. Purchase Tarptent RainbowTarptent Rainbow: Pros:side entry, super roomy, freestanding. COns: PRICE $225! not as light as Lunar Solo 33oz

3. Purchase SMDLunar Solo: Pros: Weight 23oz!, side entry, one pole setup Cons:Price $235, not as roomy

4. MYOG SMD Lunar Solo?: Pros: Price (I know I could do this around $100), weight, side entry Cons:Potentially lose money, potential flaws (waterproof, ect), very time consuming and hard.

-There still may be better options out there. If I could get my hands on the Coleman Cobra (disc.) for the right price, or anything used that is cheap and decent....and cheap.

Thus far, seems like I could get the Eureka for the same or cheaper than building a tent, and it matches most of my criteria.
