Any experience with the tightline cord tensioners at link above?
They weigh a half ounce each so I’d have to know they were doing something significant for me before I would add them.

Pretty easy to make your own for much cheaper, a variety of ways to do it.
This thread discusses a few ways: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=19526

If you don't want to mess with making your own and want to pay extra for the name, the MSR ones are okay at $10 each.
I've made both the shock cord tensioners and the theraband tensioners that idester links to.
The theraband ones are pretty neat and look professional, but are overkill (as well as the MSR ones). Shockcord alone works quite well and is the cheapest option. You can outfit your whole shelter system for the cost of one tensioner from MSR.
