I have a grand mesa 2. I take it when the wife will go with me. It is a solid tent but it would make for a very heavy solo tent. A friend, I hike with, has the split fire 1 and likes it. It seems to be a good tent that is light"ish" and for a good price. He has stayed dry when it was raining condensation in my tent. Might be a little short if your over 6 feet tall. I hike with a tarp tent contrail.
