I picked up the Mountain Hardware Optic 3.5 (which is quite a bit larger, similar weight, much better view, easy to set up/take down and has huge vestibules) for about $209 new. Goole it up on Amazon and google shopping and see who is offering what prices. The front/side door option is fantastic as is the ability to really open up and see the world while still having the rain fly.

The Optic 2.5 is only a little smaller yet seems to consistently have a higher actual price where the 3.5 seems to be cheaper. Both got great reviews in Backpacker as well.
