What is the size of your current tent? And are you planning on backpacking with a lot of stuff? Or are you going to be climbing up steep hills and going back down?
When I went backpacking for 10 days in New Mexico, my pack weighed just under 40lbs. So 36-37lbs won't make a lot of difference (if you would have asked me on the last day, my answer might be different). When I went to the Grand Canyon last summer for 2 days, my pack weighed less than 20 lbs. I was going for speed and had to hike all the way down to the river and back (10 miles each way, 4000ft elevation change). 3lbs would make a difference in this case. I'm also looking for a tent I can easily take on a bicycle, so 3 lbs will make it easier to petal long distances.
