I decided on Nammatj 2GT. And luckily found a decent deal(discount). Figured I'd rather have 4 season durability & extra room of vestibule and that I'd find other ways to trim weight to make up for it. Thanks to those who posted responses & thoughts, appreciated.
Thank you. Extra weight of GT version w/larger vestibule, worth it? Hunt is 8 to 10 days where we're initially dropped off, setting up camp, foot hunt from there. Anticipating at least 1 (if not 2) moves where we'll be hiking over to new drainages and basins & setting up all over again. Thus...
