I have the Bible I tent. I do love it, albeit a bit heavy and overkill for me here in NY.
I should say so, yes; I mean according to Exodus, that first Bible tent was massive… ;)
On a serious note, I think you’re correct; the Eldorado is kind of similar to the I-Tent. I think it’s something of a derivation or evolution in several ways, but yeah, very similar overall. How’s the functionality on yours, and on your Hilight? I know I can physically fit my bag, pack, boots, etc. in the Eldordo and still have a bit of room to spare for cooking, but it isn’t going to be much.
Also, thanks for the vestibule offer; if I pull the trigger on the BD, I’ll get that from you. Easy and fast way to see if I like the increased space, despite the weight.
Possibly ventilation deficient? Using a flame? Carry a carbon monoxide detector.
You know, I’ve never once thought about that…which was obviously a stupid oversight on my part. I was always taught that there was absolutely no situation in which cooking inside a tent was acceptable, but as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that I was told that fact by people that didn’t want to be in situations where in-the-tent cooking was necessary.
Did a quick Google search and found this little thing in the Amazon. Might be a good way to go; thanks for the suggestion. Maybe that and a Reflectix/shovel platform would be enough to keep me from incinerating myself.

Here is the Highlight pitched in my yard. I love that the entire entry can fully open on the side like that. It has mesh also, so you have options. The back has a mesh window which you can also leave halfway open or fully closed, seen in 3rd picture. There ate also vents on top that remain open. In my opinion, no issues for condensation due to plenty of ventilation options. The front overhangs slightly over the door, so getting in and out in the rain did not present an issue. Again, I plan on using this tent in SNOW, not rain.. But I have not yet… Hopefully this winter I can put it thru the wringer.
and here is the I- Tent.. again, pitched in my yard.. without and with the vestibule. You can see how much room in there with my Regular/ Wide pad. I was so playing around with the hang kit for my 
As you can see, these tents are designed for the harshest environments on Earth. Yes people cook in them but that involves a certain amount of risk with ventilation and fire hazard.
