Ralph,

What don't you like about the Zephyr XT?  I am currently leaning towards that
one, though the new Moss Hooped Outland is tempting, mainly because it's US-made.
Here in RainyWorld, I hate to consider anything without a vestibule, though
I am trying to convince myself that a minimal tent with a tarp hung in front
of it if not moving camp each day would be better.  I tend to consider tarps
as "free" gear, since they can be carried on deck with little concern for 
salt-saturation, stability or loss.

Does anyone have any idea how the fly on the Zephyrs stands up to wind and
rain?  The illustration I have doesn't tell me anything about what holds
up the peak of the Zephyr's or the scoop vent of the XT's.
