Hi, go the monarch if you have the cash, it is much, much smaller and lighter than the Naturehike chair you mention -I know, I have it too! The monarch is also, believe it or not, far more comfortable than the 4 legged chair. You can easily recline, man you can lean back and literally rock! My monarch is exactly 525grams without the stuffsack (just weighed it) and 31cms long, but not a tube as such. In parts of it's length it is very narrow (like 2 pool cues thick) and some a tad thicker (like maybe 3 pool cues-mispent youth). I have the EE Rev -7C on top plus a Big Sky Rev 1 person. Thermarest trekker wide torso etc. I don't know if you do this, but think about storing your quilt loose-it fills all the nooks and crannies, it is a much better way to get it too loft as well. I also use 2 Nylofume bags one inside the other to put my clothes quilt etc, not tent and food.
