I see some trade-offs both ways, but considering them both, the functionality and short pack size of the Kelty has me swayed to it. I know the Seedhouse fly is constructed of a Silnylon material, and what it should offer superior rain protection, which is a serious consideration as well. I don't like just one door and one vestibule blocking it, And then there's the issue with the drip-line gong straight down into the inside of the tent itself. Do you think the additional 1 lb. 7 oz. weight increase of the TN2 compared to the Seedhouse will be that big of an issue? Ah, this is a tough decision! lol
