One of my favorite 'features' of this floorless mid is a unique 'self bailing' bug action - actually I keep my inner net tent collapsed except for sleeping (probably wouldn't need it at all, but I still have a creepy crawly phobia while obliviously asleep). I also own a BA Fly Creek UL2, and this thing out outperforms it in every way, except freestanding (pain to set-up in a lean-to, or on a platform).
But of course, to each his own... they are all good.
Yes, I did see that. Your 13 oz, however, is actually 13 + 11 (the Serenity Nettent) + weight of pole and stakes. So it's within a few ozs of the Hilleberg Enan. There's the weight of a rain jacket, in my case a Rab Latok Alpine, 18 oz, but I'd take the versatility, especially since my Rab jacket is also wind shell in addition to being my rain jacket.
