Thanks for your input.
I got a new quarter dome T3 in the mail yesterday and immediately set it up in the living room. I don't have much for a review yet, but it appears to be very roomy. I read in some other reviews that it's a bit short for taller people to lay down in, which is mostly true. I'm about 5'11" to 6'0" and my head and feet were barely touching the tent walls. I simply turned to a slight angle and that solved my problem. We opted for a T3 over the T2 tent due to the extra floor space and minimal weight difference, and I'm glad I did. I'll be testing it out over labor day weekend and will have a better review after we get home. In fact, I might go set it up now in my neighbor's yard (I live in an apartment, and miss having my own lawn ).
