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.

I had a moment DW with both inners at one time. If you know you are going to be above treeline in a cold windy location then yes I would say yes get the solid inner. It will be more comfortable in a strong cold wind. As far as the cross pole, I personally would not bother. I think if you use the two guy out points on the arch it is pretty sturdy. The "freestanding" capability with the pole doesn't work that well. The one place where I think the cross pole would be useful is if you are planning getting snowed on.
