Good for the price but flawed - Brooks-Range Mountaineering Propel 2 Tent - 2 Person 4 Season

I used this tent for a late September solo backpack trip at 12,000ft in CO. The good: nice price, very light for a 4 season tent, sheds snow and wind well, packs very small, option to use trekking pole to shed a little more weight, and fairly stable for a non-freestanding tent as long as the 4 guy-lines are used. The bad: a little fiddly to set up especially trying to gain max height in the foot area; because of the cramped foot area it is simply too short and I had to open the interior vestibule door to fit (I'm about 6ft tall) which is not all bad as ventilation is increased; like most single walled tents, created a lot of condensation with only one person (however, if below freezing at least it is frost and not water; I really don't see how 2 normally sized people would fit - I would envision both sleeping bags becoming drenched from condensation by touching the not-so-vertical sidewalls all night. I suppose if liquid condensation is not an issue, then 2 people are more doable, but like the other reviewer said, you better be "close". That being said, it makes a nice roomy solo tent with a decent size vestibule and I would give it 4 stars as a one person. I feel like the designers could have sacrificed another 8oz and added a little more foot room height/width with a small horizontal pole or even guy-lines, and maybe another 4in of length overall. Again, for the price, a good minimalist winter tent to have in your arsenal, but don't expect to be comfortable with 2 people, especially in warmer weather.
