I have another question on the scarp. if you were going to buy would you get the mesh interior or solid wall interior? from what I understand only the solid wall is suitable for 4 season camping and only the mesh interior is good for 3 season. Am I reading something wrong?
No you are not. in general, if you were planning on taking the tent out where there would be blowing snow and high wind, you would not like the all mesh interior - you'd probably get a bunch of spinndrift through it. OTOH, in hot weather the solid walls are awful stuffy. - so pretty much other than that nasty winter case, the mesh walls will vent better and be superior in most cases.
Again, decide realisticly when you want to go and when you are likely to go.
If you're going to be on a high mountain, exposed, in snow load, you will need something that is four season capable.
Lots of people buy 4 season tents because "they might go out in winter" - and spend nothing but time in them spring->fall where they would be better served by something lighter and more well ventilated.
