I just did some number crunching and going with the Khufu CT3 + full mesh + 16 stakes (max requirement) + Zpacks pole it comes in at 734 grams, but the cost is up there at $1,033 + postage. There are weight saving opportunities by going with less mesh and possibly less stakes. That will also save a few dollars.
I do like the idea of being able to use less mesh to create a vestibule within shelter.
Not sure on pack size but, so need to investigate that further.
Haha I get it, there are so many options right? No problem anyway!
It is supremely expensive huh? This is why I haven't made the jump as of yet. Additionally, I hear the 2/3 mesh is the best option to go with as it allows plentiful room both in the vestibule and within the interior space. This was noted in a couple of discussions over at backpackinglight.com (one comment in particular here > https://backpackinglight.com/forums/top ... st-3372774), but it's mostly personal preference I suppose. It seems some folk avoid full mesh inners as when opening the door during a downpour it's possible to let water into your sleeping area. That'd be no fun.
Here are a couple pics of the 2/3 inner w/ khufu by a BPL user:
