RE: [Paddlewise] Samll tent

I just ordered the REI tent ...it's a small 2 person version of the
Nitelite. I like the weight, packability and most importantly, ventilation.
What I like about it is that you can roll back the fly and expose the mesh,
but quickly replace the fly in case of sudden rain.

It's on sale for just over $100.

		Opinions wanted on small-packing free-stneding tents.  I'm
considering a 
		Moss Outland or Starlet, but see in the Campmore catalog a
few Eurekas
		that claim to pack nearly as small:  the Backcountry2,
Mountain Pass 2XT,
		Zephyr and Clip Timberlight XT2.

		Any opinions of the relative quality of these tents, or
whether the packed
		sizes claimed are realistic would be appreciated.
Suggestions of other
		small tents also of interest.
