HMG Cuben Ultamid vs. MLD Cuben Duomid?

And I apologize if this has been asked many times before!

I think it depends on how many people will be sleeping in the mid. For me, I can't imagine needing more room than the duomid provides just for me and possibly the pup.

I certainly wouldn't want to fit two full sized adults in there for any appreciable length of time.

Disclosure: the ultamid is pretty much the ONLY shelter I have yet to own at some point.

For one person (6' tall or under) probably a duomid.

For two the Ultamid for sure as the duo is too small for two comfortably. The Ultamid is a hair longer too I think so if you are over 6' it might work better.

I am 6 ft 5 I needed the Ultamid 2 simply for the length. I also have a MLD Solomid XL that I have used with success.

Disclaimer: I have not used either of the shelters for more than 3 nights. I ended up going another direction.

I am looking for a solo shelter mainly, for just me and my pack, but the thought has crossed my mind that if I'm making the investment, I may as well opt for the extra room in the event that I were to be using it for two people. Is it fair to assume that they are both of equal quality? I don't think I've ever read a poor review on the quality of either, and I think I've read almost all the reviews out there including all of youtube.

One other factor may be the size of campsites where you normally camp. Some places large shelters are not a problem and some places they are. It depends on the geographical location you hike in.

I have a HMG Ultamid 4 I use with my wife and it is very well made. I got a really good deal on it and am not sure if I could stomach the $$$ they want for it now, but it is a nice shelter.

My only complaint is that it is a bit bulky (cuben).

MLD is known for top notch construction too so I don't think you can go wrong with either.
