The Lunar Solo is $215, only $6 more.
Also, the Protrail weighs 26 oz, 2 oz more than the Lunar Solo.
Don't get me wrong, the Protrail really is a great lightweight bargain for the money.
Kind of reminds me of the YMG Cirriform SW, however the cuben Cirriform is $520!

The Protrail comes with 4 Easton 6" pegs so you would have to delete that weight. The Lunar Solo weight does not include pegs, which you would have to purchase separately. My Protrail was 24.8 oz without the pegs and the pegs are included with the tent.
And there you go.
Good plan with the extra netting. Some mainstream manufacturer features are worth the weight, a double cloth/net door being one of them. You could be skimpy by using half a zip on the net door and zipping to the maindoor's mating half I guess.
Anyway, I have 5 yards of green .5oz cuben and a plan for a spacious summer tent, so I'll see you all this side of 16oz.
Tim Marshall is going to send me a new lighter quilt too. :-)
