I've been looking into UL tents for when I have the occasion to go on multi-day trips or when weather conditions are variable/unpredictable. I've pretty much narrowed down to two options, the Tarptent Contrail and the SMD Lunar Solo (I briefly looked at the GG The One, but decided it was a bit too narrow at the ends). Both are pretty much identical in terms of specs, but the TT is a front-entry shelter, whereas the Lunar Solo is side entry.

I'm curious if anyone has used a similar shelter, one with ventilation netting on all 4 sides, in the Southeast US. Where I'll be using it for 3 season use, humidity and nighttime temps can both be pretty high, 'specially in the summer months, and I'm wondering if the larger surface area of the side entry will make a ventilation differance vs. the front entry. Any experience or thoughts?
