I am thinking of picking up an MSR Fling when I get my REI dividend. The Fling appears to be the replacement for the Missing Link. I am wondering iof anyone has used one yet and what your thoughts are.

I wrote a reveiw of the Fling and posted in under the 'Gear Review' section. Check it out. IMO it's the best tent going. It'll take a significant development in tent technology to get me to go to something else.

MSR still makes the Missing Link; it is not a free standing tent like the Fling though; the Fling gives you two setup options, you can use it free standing or leave the top pole at home and guy the tent out to save weight (about 8 ozs for the top pole) The Fling has more truly usable space too. I looked at both before I made a purchase and the Fling is much more human friendly.
