John,
Thanks for the link to the old post. I forgot about it, even though it was the reason I bought the tent.
Can’t believe that post and my purchase of the tent was 4 years ago. Time flies.
My model includes the inner solid inner tent (warmer) and the cross pole overhanging porches on both sides (allows open doors in most rains and dry exit/entry). Fly extends well beyond the tent so no problem with splashing of mud and rain on tent on ends. Tent is noticeably bigger than my MSR Hubba Hubba HP. Foam pads of my wife and I overlap in MSR. There is space between pads in the Revolution.
Even with all these features the fly, tent and poles still weigh only about 3.5 lbs (if I recall correctly).
Cross pole that supports the two front porches crosses the main X poles at a point below the cross point of the X poles. So the cross pole is supported at two locations (two poles) rather than the one point of support at the apex of the MSR poles. Feels much stronger than the single point of support of the MSR tent.
Overall this is the best of the 2 dozen or so tents I’ve purchased during my life. A slightly larger zippered window would make kit more comfortable on a warm (80 degree F) night but that’s about all I can think of in terms of improvement suggestions.
