I just went through the same research recently. I have always used a MSR Carbon Reflex 1 tent. But soon I'll want one of my boys to come on hunting trips with me so I needed a 2 man tent and sold the MSR. I was looking at the MSR Freelite but I went with a Big Agnes Fly Creek tent.

I have used it in the kaimanawas so far and think its bloody awesome. I think its even lighter and packs down smaller than the MSR, and this is a 2 man tent! It seems well made and has some great features. I thought the built in lighting was just a gimmick, but gave it a go anyway. But now I'm sold. Not having to fumble around at night to find a torch is bloody good. Just reach over and turn on the lights! And the system only adds another 40gms or something like that.
