That's a good looking tent. It's floorspace is adequate for 2 people so when traveling with someone, your tent weight is only 1.25 kgs per person. This is very good. I used a Eureka Timberline for nearly 30 years until the floor wore out. It is an excellent, inexpensive two person tent that is still available. I replaced it with a one person Marmot Eclipse which I had for 6 years. It was excellent when the weather was good but I could not bring my gear inside if it rained. I sold it last year and purchased a two person MSR Hubba Hubba. It weighs 2.5 kgs total. It is made with a little more finesse than the Eureka Timberline and the price reflects this.

I'm convinced that there is no 'perfect' tent. Go with the one you've picked and forgetaboutit.
