Welcome to the board. Clever name you chose there LOL!!!

I've owned and used a Zeus for several years and I must warn you that it may not fit your hot weather requirement. Even the newer revised model doesn't have much mesh to keep you cool in hot weather. Also, condensation is an issue in any single wall non-breathable fabric tent. I love my Zeus but others have complained about the condensation problem.

Then again, every tent design is a compromise and no tent does it all. Decide what is important to you and go from there.
