I have a MSR Ventana which is a fancy REI bug hut with a fly that does what is suppose to do. It weighs in at a whooping 6.5 pounds so it sits in my closet these days. I have really wanted to go with the Bug Hut but its not engineered with a fly that will work and I do not use treking poles. Mixing and matching could come back to bite, worse than the bugs in a wilderness setting. That said, I also will be very interested in how this plays out for you.
