Thanks, I just did.

Personally I an inclined toward carrying much less tent and like my Eureka Spitfire 1 quite a bit when I take a tent (I take a 5 ounce bivy and a 7 ounce tarp most of the time these days). The Spitfire packs small, was inexpensive (a little over $100 if you shop around), and light. It is a really nice tent IMO, especially for the price. I do recommend replacing the cheap steel stakes for lighter ones.

There is also a Spitfire 2. I have no experience with it, but based on my experience with the Spitfire 1 I think it probably is a nice tent.
I like the Hubba Hubba, but I don't like the bright colors.
