A couple quick questions:
1) Does the solid inner make that much of a difference in cold and windy conditions over the all mesh interior? Or does the all mesh interior work just fine when you batten down the hatches? I'll be using this tent above tree line in Colorado and Wyoming (read: freakin windy) in 3+ seasons.
2) Is it worth getting the optional crossing pole for extra storm worthiness? It seems like one could just guy out the center tie outs to trekking poles and achieve the same effect.
