I recently researched a ton of back country 2 man tents and narrowed my search to 3: Hilleberg Nallo 2GT (expensive), Kelty Gunnison 2.3 and REI HalfDome 2 Plus. The Hilleberg, well, lets just say that I'm going to save some coins for that one; but I bought both the Gunnison 2.3 and Rei Halfdome 2 plus and tried both side by side. Both are well made; Gunnison a little more beefy fabric, not by much; Half Dome was 14 inches longer in the floor, but not nearly as wide & was a little lighter than the Gunnison; both had great vestibules. The 2015 HalfDome plus 2 was upgraded by REI with some issues from the previous models, like full zipper for both tent doors, not 2 zippers; and opening the vestibules. I sent back the Gunnison simply because its length was 84" for the floor and the Halfdome was 98". I'm only 5'10", but I don't like my sleeping bag touching the walls; The REI half-dome 2 plus allowed my sleeping pad and bag enough room; the Gunnison was crowded for my liking. I really liked both tents, but decided with the Half-dome 2 plus; Comparing the two side-by-side helped me to make the decision;also the Half-Dome upper portion of the tent allowed more head room with the brow pole pulling out the side walls. I used my REI points and their offer in March for additional 20% off, so I got the tent for around $150.00. The Kelty Gunnison was bought from BackCountryEdge.com and I received a 20% off discount for first time purchaser. Both REI and backcountyedge.com great companies with no hassle return policy. I always research a lot before making backcountry equip purchases and learn a lot from RokSlide. Hope this helps; good luck
