Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:

From Backcountry.com:
"Super light, super strong, waterproof, breathable and easy to set up, the 2-person Bibler Eldorado was originally designed for the extreme mountain climber. This tent can be pitched on ledges that are no larger than your couch! Yet any outdoor adventurer will appreciate the design and features that make it the ideal tent at altitude. The Eldorado weighs an astonishing 4 pounds, 8 ounces, yet rolls up small enough to fit into the side pocket of many internal frame packs. Two poles crisscross inside the single tent wall, eliminating hard-to-thread sleeves, and ending naturally into the eaves of the roof. The result is maximum strength and more headroom per square foot of floor space than most tents."

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"For technical alpine routes and wilderness travel the compact size of the I-Tent is a major benefit, but when you must have more space the Bibler Eldorado is a great choice. Sharing the same features as the I-Tent, the Eldorado is five inches longer and three inches wider, providing added room for you and your gear. An optional fitted ground cloth or coated ripstop vestibule are available. Please allow an extra day or two for delivery on this item. Bibler Eldorado: Capacity (persons): 2 Weight: 4 lb. 8 oz.

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of Bibler Tents Eldorado Standard TentOver 25 years of experience and field testing has made the Bibler line of Black Diamond tents among the top in tent innovation and high-quality construction. Pioneering beyond their double-walled counterparts, Bibler's unique single-wall tents are built to withstand some of the harshest conditions on the planet while remaining surprisingly lightweight. You'll find these marvels of design and function on the world’s most intense backcountry expeditions, from Everest to Rainier and beyond. When all you need from a tent in the backcountry is a good solid roof above you and a waterproof floor below you, the Bibler Eldorado Standard Tent will work in a cinch. As with many of the Bibler tents, it's made with ToddTex to make it waterproof, windproof and extremely breathable, while also keeping it light enough (4 pounds and 8 ounces) and strong enough to handle wind and snow weight.

"I collect tents and also have a TNF Mtn 24. The MTN 24 is more rigid but weighs 8. 5lbs, has integral vestibule, and is a WET tent. I don't always use the vestibule in the Eldo and it adds 1. 5 pounds.

The Eldo is the driest tent I own--I have never had any condensation at all except a few wisps of frost on the poles."

"Have used this tent extensively in Alaska, and agree with most of the comments on the other review here. Advantages are light weight and ease of set up (if you don't bother with Velcro tabs on poles, which aren't needed if no wind).

Disadvanges: lack of strength in high wind."
