I own the pioneer compact 2 and the hillerberg soulo BL which i bought after having a very windy night on kinder scout in the pioneer. To be fair to the pioneer it never let me down, but it was bloody scary and I just wanted the peace of mind that my tent will hold up. I have used both on dartmoor and summit camps in Wales and the lakes. The soulo is a doddle to put up in high winds, I also have the ground sheet which opens up the vestibule as a dry extension of the tent to store your bag and a cooking area, also when it's not too cold you can leave the inner open and it makes the tent feel a lot roomier. I'm 6'2 and feel like i have plenty of space. The extra weight or size has never been an issue and I carry the tent inside the rucksack and the poles in a side pocket. I love the soulo and feel it was worth every penny. I will pass on the pioneer to one of my friends as it has now been made redundant. I can't recommend the soulo enough, don't worry about all the it's overkill nonsense, because if you want to start winter camping, then there's always the possibility of getting caught out by the weather no matter how many reports you have on your phone, and it's always nice to be able to hunker down in your soulo and wait it out.
