    Given those choices I'd take the BA Lynx Pass 1. Why not get something a tad larger for more room? Stash your gear, don't worry about rolling over, or hell, even invite a friend to spend the night... heheh

    Like this: http://www.rei.com/product/794294/rei-half-dome-2-tent

    Oh, and don't listen to MTgirl ~snicker~ BUY ONE!! :D

    Dangit. That must've been the RETURN key. ;)

    Naaa, but back on topic, the extra space is fantastic and worth the weight, don't you think? How many tents do you have already?

    0 tents...well i have a cheepy coleman tent. to me the extra weight is worthless. i hardly ever share a tent with someone and being a smaller guy the extra room is just more space to try and heat up. i just need to be able to sit up and change. nothing sucks worse than being stuck in a thunderstorm and having to change in a tube tent while laying down

    If I had to choose one of the three you posted I would probably take the BA Lynx. Seems roomy enough and I like a side door (the end entry is one thing I don't like about my Kelty Grand Mesa)

    My usual criteria would be can I sit up/get dressed comfortably, can I get in/out without dropping mud and crap on my bag/pillow and how quickly can it be set up?

    Ohh! Fire! I'll get the marshmallows! BRB...
