Couple things, that post was a bit old. Heres their website. I believe you were looking for room but they have a Vamp on sale right now for a steal and have some new tents coming out in a few months. From the research I have done the Lunar Duo is the spacious 2 person tents.

Thank's for the website Chubbs4u. I was reading about it and got it off the backpackinglight website. HS

The Vamp (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/bargin-bin.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_smd.tpl&product_id=44&category_id=13) is a modular solo shelter. It is in the bargain bin at SMD since Ron is releasing his newer Skyscape (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/tents.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_smd.tpl&product_id=55&category_id=7) tents (I have one on order!). The Skyscape tents are solo tents as well, and Ron has no intentions of creating a 2 person Skyscape, so this tent choice would be out as well since he is interested in a 2 person tent.
The Lunar Duo (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/tents.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_smd.tpl&product_id=37&category_id=7) is a quite spacious 2 person tent (I have one (http://sticksblog.com/gear/my-current-gear/shelter/six-moon-designs-lunar-duo/)), but the Haven tarp (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/tarps.html?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_smd.tpl&product_id=45&category_id=8) & Net tent (http://www.sixmoondesigns.com/nettents.html?page=shop.product_details&category_id=9&flypage=flypage_smd.tpl&product_id=53) offer a little more versatility than the Lunar Duo since it is modular. The Haven is about 6 inches narrower than the Lunar Duo, but the new 2011 model Haven tarp & Net tent are 7 oz lighter than the Lunar Duo, so that is a pretty nice trade.

Thanks for all the information on all the shelter's.. I dont know why but i like the Haven tarp/Net tent. I would say:
1. less condensation in a double wall
2. Less weight for two person vs my old one person tent at 4lbs.
Condensation will vary depending on temperature, wind, the area you are in and the amount of ventilation achieved. Given this, condensation will still be there...there will just be a wall between you and the condensation...
Less weight is right on! Since the Haven is modular, you can carry the inner and your partner can carry the outer (or vice-versa). This will equal out to right around a pound each for your shelter!

There is no less condensation on a double wall tent, what's different is 'where' the condensation is and how it escapes...a single wall tent means you are more exposed to the same amount of condensation, a double wall means you have a second wall to protect you from it...that's all
