the stats it looks like it has one down side: pack size.  It packs to 24" X
7".  As I have discovered on my Nebula (25" X 8") that eats up a lot of
room in the kayak.

You are right, the pack size and weight eliminate it from being a
backpackers tent, however if you need to get it through a really small
hatch, put the fly and the tent (and the stake/accessories) in two separate
bags and you can save some size. BTW- I was wrong earlier the fly is
silver/grey
