9oz cuben mid, TONS of room, single pole, bombproof, ventilated tent. Too good to be true? Anyone use one?

I have never found a Bear Paw product weigh to spec so odds are that it is heavier.
Otherwise, there does not appear to be much usable space at the ends so given the sloped walls and pointed ends I suspect this shelter is very small.
Maybe an owner can provide some perspective.
Gary,
I haven’t used one of these but I’m a fan of Bear Paw and they made the tarp/fly you see in my avatar. I’ve been very satisfied with it.
I am not a fan of pointy topped tarps/flys, however. The sloped sides restrict the useable space significantly compared to designs with vertical or nearly vertical sides.
For $75 more (and about the same weight) I’d choose the Z Pack’s Duplex over this tent. Way more room!
Looking at the video it seems like there's a ton of room with those angles. He says the weight is usually less than 9oz with 0.51oz cuben. Right now I'm considering it for winter only. Diamond solo or Solomod XL, or Locus Gear mids. Any prefs?
Gary,
You probably already saw this review (link from Locus website) but in case you missed it:

A Cult-Classic GMT Reimagined for Everyday WearInspired by the famously bezel-stripped Rolex GMT-Master worn by Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now, the G2 Apocalypse turns a piece of 1970s film and watch history into a practical everyday GMT. Its restrained 39mm design pairs a Swiss Ronda quartz GMT movement with sapphire crystal, 150 meters of water resistance, strong BGW9 lume, and USA assembly. The result is an accurate, low-maintenance travel watch with a story collectors will immediately recognize.
