I'm looking at the "value priced" iteration of the Soul, and paying for upgraded ultra-lightweight poles (+$41).
It seems the prices (with current sales on the Seedhouse) are comparable, as are the weights. In terms of durability though, I've read some accounts of the Soul's floor developing rips. So that's potentially a concern – not sure how the durability of the fabrics compare.
Any other thoughts on these two tents are more than welcome.
The value option Soul X2 uses 40D PU-coated nylon for the floor – that should be pretty durable. According to this old BPL article, the Seedhouse SL1 uses a 30D PU-coated/silicone impregnated floor:
FYI, Big Sky has a "specials" page you might want to check out. There are a couple discounted Soul X2s listed:

I don't have much insight on the Soul X2, but I'm really liking my Big Sky Chinook 2P tent I recently bought. I've only used it 6 nights now, but it's seen sand, wind, rain, hail, and sleet and has done great. The quality is excellent.
