        I have the Sierra Designs Half Moon which came out about the same
time as the Meteor Lite but is now discontinued.  Similar design and
function, but a little smaller.  Packs small too;  4 pounds of weight, 4-5
inches in diameter, about 18 inches long.
        The vestibule is a great thing.  I've added a gear loft up above
which is very handy, and I now carry a rug remnant which I put out the
doorway in the vestibule.  Really helps keep things clean and dry.  Never
had a problem with water soaking thru, and it seems to resist wind well.
        Had the tent for some 6 years now;  it is still in terrific shape
but lately the rainfly wants to keep sticking to itself when I unroll it...
