SO I need to buy a big tent, my wife and I are getting tired of cramming ourselves into a two person backpacking tent with our daughter and now that we have a second child it is just not feasible. I am looking at either the Big Anges 4 or the REI Hobitat. There are many more reviews of the Hobitat out there and they are pretty positive, for some reason I am leaning toward the Agnes, it may be the two doors or that fact that its mentioned that solo setup is possible but I am not sure it is worth an extra 50 bucks. The big Agnes also weighs about 5 lbs less (~10 lbs) which makes me think that it could be used as a backpacking tent when split up between two-three folks.

Any thoughts anyone has to add?

Thanks,
Tobias
