[Paddlewise] 2 Sierra tents

Just to break the philosophical thread (to use or not to use the technology
:-), - does anybody have experience with these tents: Sierra Designs
Hyperlight and Sierra Designs Lightning?

Both tents are 3-season 2-person, but I'm going to use it as a 2.5 season
solo. All online stores shamelessly quote same 3 feedbacks.  Hyperlight has 2
different aluminum poles (+ one very short), i.e. needs thinking when setting
up - which is bad.

Lightning has 2 identical poles, but needs staking the fly in 2 points, which
is bad, both on rocks and sand.

Lightning seems to have more mesh than Hyperlight, but there was a complaint
on poor venting of Lightning with fly door fully closed, which can't be kept
partially open since doesn't have a zipper. From what i see, with fly door
*fully* open Hyperlight will let more water in than Lightning, due to fly door
close to the entrance door (vestibule of Hyperlight is tiny).

Common sense tells me that Hyperlight will be more storm-proof due to rigid
aluminum poles and 3-rd short pole (a sort of A-frame).

Hyperlight is $200, Lightning - $225.
