I am looking to get a new 2 person tent. I have looked at several brands already and I keep coming back to the Marmot Twilght 2P. (http://www.campmor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=39169127&storeId=226&memberId=12500226)

I like it for several reasons.

1. Seems to have more room than most I have looked at

2. 2 seperate doors, each with it's own vestibule.

3. Vestibules are really big.

4. Fairly light weight (5lbs 5oz)

I have never owned a Marmot tent and I wanted to get the opinions of the members here on how good they are. The tent is kinda expensive, but I don't mind paying the extra if it's worth it.

Have you looked at Seirra designs lightning? I love mine. easy set up, very airy when the fly is off, roomy, and 41/2 lbs.
Great in rain not an ounce of water during and after a storm.:banana

Sierra Designs tents are a close second to the Marmot. The Marmot Twilight still has the advantage of 2 doors, 2 vestibules, larger vestibules, a little more floor space, and the Marmot is $50 less. This tent is going to be for me and my wife.
