OK, I think I've narrowed it down, and the winner is a BA Copper Spur UL 2. Here's my reasoning. I'm a tall guy, looking for light 2 person tent that I can carry solo when I want to "splurge" on room. The redesign of the CS2 has taken it down to 2 lbs 12 oz trail weight, and I have CF stakes and spectra cord to swap in. I was thinking about a taking the dividend in cash and getting a TT Rainbow, but I currently own a SpinnTwinn/Yama net tent set up that pretty much fills the UL function, and has zero condensation issues.

Looks like a REI quarter dome T2.. but with more pole work. The quarter dome t2+ (for us tall folk) is in the rei outlet! Just a thought anyways. I really like mine.

Off topic… how do you like the spinn + yama shelter? I've been eyeing that combo for high mileage trips my wife isn't on.

The QD+ has a lot of room, but at a weight penalty over the 3 lb Copper Spur. I like the Yama net tent, and its a great UL set up with a Spinn Twinn. But it suffers from lack of sit-up headroom from both its height and A frame design. But for what it is, it has excellent build quality and features., if you were interested in the cat-cut tarp and net tent option, I'd whole heartedly recommend it.
