i think i just had an oops and sent a blank one - sorry

OK, Rick, my suggestion is you go with the Therm-A-Rest Standard full-length. 
 I had a 3/4 length and I'm only 5'0" but I prefer the full length one.

the ultralite is OK if you really have a weight/bulk limitation, but it's 
very thin

BTW - I was doing a google search for tents cos I'm looking for a 4-peaked 
dome tent (ie ventilation on all four sides with the ability to zip up 
against rain from the inside) to recommend to new campers in Florida (I've 
"founded" Scampers - Single Campers of South Florida) and I came across the 
following headline that immediately caught my eye (and my heart):

<>  I clicked on it to see who the kindred soul was and as Pogo said, I have 
seen the enemy...and it is us!

Not only was it the Paddlewise thread you started on tents and assembled by 
Hank Berger but the quote was mine!!!!!  I nearly died laughing.  What I'd 
like to know is...did Hank choose that as the "heading?"
