Well, we are leaving for Iceland in about 10 days, so we are on the cusp of buying the Big Agnes Sunnyside 2 right now. The main issue is the weight... I mean, our old Coleman car camping tent (which has gone with me to Zambia and back, albeit not backpacking) weighs around 8 lbs, so we could drag it along with us... it's in otherwise good condition. The Big Agnes weights 5 lbs 6 oz.
So is it worth $150 for a new tent to save us 3 lbs, basically? Thoughts?
