My head touches the top sitting up in the SL1. Wish I had bought the SL2. Only 7oz more weight.
My only other quibble with the SL1 is that the drip line at the vestibule is above the interior floor of the tent. I assume the SL2 is the same. In rain you must zip the door shut rather than let the breeze blow through. SL2...
Big Agnes is a good choice all the way around. I have an Seedhouse SL2 and Fly Creek UL1. Both are good tents that can take the elements. My SL2 stood up to a very frightening night of thunderstorms in eastern Texas. It faired much better than I did...I spent the night in the masonry bathroom when the thunder preceded the lightning flashes. I'm not a fan of being electrocuted in my sleep
Here's the morning after
As for any drip problems, all you have to do is partially close the door. It doesn't cut down on the air flow much.
