Sadly, today I received confirmation from a helpful MSR employee that the upcoming MSR FlyLite is indeed only 82" in length (width is 55" front, 42" rear). Since I'm 75" in length, and sleep on my stomach with about 8" of size 13 feet sticking straight back, this is not going to work.
As you can imagine, I am a keen student of tent lengths (and how the angles of front and rear walls work to reduce "effective length"). I know most tent manufacturers don't design for my point on the curve, but 82" seems pretty short. Most tents I see are in the 84-86" range, with some up to 90", though the wall angles don't always make all that space usable.
