I've saved my change, leftover lunch money, Christmas money, and anything I find when doing laundry, and I finally have enough to upgrade my tent.

Currently I have an older model Eureka Solitaire 1p (seen on the left in this picture).

I have about $250 to spend. I'm looking to upgrade in quality and drop weight and bulk.

I've narrowed the decision down to 2 options, pending anything you all come up with that beats either of these.

1. Tarptent Contrail w/ footprint, trekking pole adapters and footprint. <-- clicky link to mfg product page
2. Big Sky Wisp 1p base model w/ footprint, guylines, and tent bag. <-- clicky link to mfg product page


I'm going ahead and getting the accessories, even though I may not be using them ever. This tent will 99% of the time be used at the Grand Canyon, but it may get used around here (Indiana) if the opportunity arises.

Hopefully I've provided enough data to get an assist on making this 1st BIG item purchase. Can I get some thoughts/concerns/advice on this?
