Why did you prefer the Duomid over the U2 ?

Golite U2 = 44 oz.
MLD Spectra Duomid = 11 oz.
It was simply a matter of weight savings. It saved me 33 ounces out of my winter pack weight. The U2 is bigger, freestanding, and more stable then the Duomid…but the Duomid is a snap to pitch, packs small and super light. If I required more weather resistance (or the Duomid wasn't offered), I'd have stuck with the U2. IMO, the U2 is a great shelter.
Sorry for resurrecting this one, but does anyone know how this handles snow and wind above treeline?
