Light, easy to set up, but I've noted two serious flaws with this "award winning tent" after three years of use:

1) Dripping! In wet weather the flysheet will sag, touching the tent mesh top roof--you get drips onto your face or sleeping bag's lower area (depending on your orientation). The SD customer service would not send me a new fly and suggested I put pieces of sponge in the two problem areas between the fly and tent. I tried it and it works pretty well.

2) The fly zippers get caught on zipper flaps, especially when it's wet.
