Regardless of choice of manufacturer, buying "seconds" (usually cosmetic flaws, or "last years design") can get you a lot for the price. I have seen NF VE series tents which may retail for as much as $495, selling for $320....of course one might be leery of "seconds" on something as vital as a well made tent, but outdoor gear can be rather faddish too... take a look at http://www.sierratradingpost.com/ , it's another online retailer, not as big as Campmor or REI, but they will exchange or replace or refund, anything you buy there, no questions asked. (I have seen Moss and Eureka tents occasionally as well at their site) Rich.
