Hi. I'm your average backpacker, camper, hiker.

I've done my research and for my needs I'm willing to spend $$$ for quality stuff.

I'm in the market for a 3 person tent, one that is light, and will just perform well and be spacious enough for two people (my wife and I), but also light enough that I can also use for a trip by myself if I want without feeling like I'm lugging a huge tent.

I don't care about color, about the looks. I care that it can take a beating in the wind and rain, and will just be a good and reliable tent and hold up for years if I take care of it.

After a lot of research, I've come to either:

NEMO Daggar 3
Big Agnus Copper Spur UL3

I know this is not a surprise... at all. And a lot of you must be rolling your eyes because, well, these two tents come up all the time on lists.

Both are 3 persons, very similar in weight, and size and both have good reviews.

But surely one must be better than the other. Does anyone have experiences with these tents? Suggestions?
