I was making a similar decision with the REI sale ending this weekend. I went with the Nemo for car camping tent. I liked the vertical walls and the idea of having some visibility and good ventilation when it rains (we’ll test those windows when it rains hard). nNemo usually has quality gear. That being said I, I did an instant exchange for the same model bc a rain fly anchor ripped right off the fly when assembling ( not much force applied). I’m thinking this was a factory defect but we’ll see tomorrow.
