I bought the "solid inner" and had the crossing poles as well but never used them. Got rained, snowed and blowed-on quite a few times and it handled all that fine...
..initially the super-slippery silnylon floor was a right PITA...
As I like to store my tent inside my pack as opposed to trying it on the outside, I found the 4 corner prop-poles to be too long to allow me to put the rolled-up tent cross-ways inside my Macpac Cascade 90L pack...
Apart from that I found it to be very weather proof once the seams were sealed properly, well made and certainly nice and light compared to a few of my older Macpac 4 season tents. Cheers

Assuming that you want or need to cook inside in bad weather you might need to try this out first
I think that poles will break long before the hubs show any signs of stress

Your review of the Goondie is the main one I read Good to hear you are still happy with it.
If I recall, you had the 15D with mesh inner?
When you've had it out in the snow, how did you find it for warmth and what sort of bag/mat did you
use?
I imagine a small 1P tent would be warmer than 1 person in a larger 2P tent?

I had a look at the Macpac Microlight thats on sale at the moment, but the one I saw pitched in store had quite a saggy inner and at my height would have been right in my face when laying down.
What other options would you suggest?
