Right now I have an REI dash 2. Its a two person tent. With stakes its 2lbs 10oz. The solong is a nice tent and if I didnt have my tent I would consider it since the price is about the same. I would spend the money if I could lose a pound but it only looks like I would lose about 8 oz. i might have to cut weight in other places. My base weight right now is 7.5lbs ( pack, tent, pad and sleeping bag. My goal is about 6lbs.
