There is heaps of room in the vestibules though.

Just curious which market place you are referring to as I may be interested. Thanks

Agree with Franco that you won't fit a full pack inside the Notch with you and your sleeping setup. The Stratospire is ideal for this in my experience.
The setup on the Stratospire can be hard to understand at first but once you've found the method that works for you (per Franco's post again) I found it quite easy and surprisingly versatile on uneven ground since you can pitch the fly over obstacles. For example I've pitched it with a vestibule over rocks and roots and anchored a guyline into a tree stump, on sloping ground (I built up a banknof leaves under my sleeping spot so I didn't slide), in the one pitch and had no issues.
The footprint is large (the cost of the space you get) but where that has been an issue I just peg one vestibule down flat on one side, making it considerably smaller and still giving you a full vestibule and entrance on the remaining side.
I can't speak to the Duplex other than what I've read on the net, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the Notch or Stratospire.

It is quite airy when set up high. In a light wind as little as 2-3 ks cool dampish weather, I have had it basically dry inside. Rucksack and you inside would still be very roomy especially at your height. I am 1.8 m and clear of the ends easily. Very easy set up.
Robi wrote:Thanks that is really helpful info. Other than Tassie, I really want to do more Alpine area backpacking (not deliberately in snow). The nemo is great for warmer weather and I will likely keep using it for long weekend summer trips, but I want my next tent to handle wet weather and more winter conditions well. So, it seems like Tarptent May have the edge with the notch, statospire or rainbow. What do you think?
