For what it's worth to you all I lived for 32 nights in a Black Diamond Lighthouse. Weighs 2.5 lbs after stripping off the superfluous buckles and line tighteners etc. It held two big guys comfortably but not our packs. It will survive four seasons and be quite warm given it's small volume. Body heat from two guys warmed it's small volume quite nicely. Negatives, it will not hold two guys and their full size backpacks. We solved that by leaving the packs outside under their rain covers. Also it's bright yellow. Not tactikool at all.
I've said this before, if your gear becomes part of ones daily burden then light weight really matters.
If you're car camping then all of the above is irrelevant.
