Is there anyone with experience with the two? I've owned a Strat 2 before and am very familiar with it.

I was thinking the end ventilation on the double moment would provide better air flow.

The support pole in the middle would also lead to a more consistent set up than the Strat 2.

Problems I've had with the Strat 2:

getting a consistent set up and distant from fly and next. (I could spend 5-10 minutes of repositioning the stakes to try and get a better set up)

Ventilation, in my experience ventilation is ok.

I would love to keep the vestibule open during light rain. Is there a way to do that on the Strat 2? or the Double Moment?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Nathan,
There is a new video clip on our site comparing the SS2 with the DM and the DR.
Here :

With the SS2 it may be easier to set it up correctly if you do it this way :

also might help to keep in mind that this is how it should look :
God's view of the SS2
if your SS2 sides look like that (at those angles) the inner and fly will have good separation.
As for leaving the SS2 open in light rain, yes you can .
This is mine :

(the SS2 is the one I take if expecting rain )
There was a lovely view of the valley below about half an hour before but than it rained the rest of the afternoon and most of the night.
I did close the vestibule before going to sleep.
